Golden Hind
The Golden Hind project consists of Open Pit and Underground. It sits south of the Raleigh mine and studies are currently underway into the potential development of this project. The Project was approved by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety in September 2024 and mining is scheduled to commence with an Open Pit in mid 2026.
Sadler Underground
During the year resource definition diamond drilling continued up-dip of Sadler which is located within Raleigh mine, with the objective to convert Inferred Mineral Resource to Indicated Mineral Resource. The drill spacing was completed to a 40m x40m pattern and drilling was conducted from surface. The drilling was designed to define the top of the interpreted grade plunge of the Sadler mineralisation, which is being mined underground at Raleigh.
Drilling intersected a brittle-ductile structure, with a thin (less than 0.25 metre), laminated vein in places. This structure is consistent with the Sadler mineralisation from mining underground.

Hornet Open Pit During the year, infill reverse circulation (RC) drilling was completed at Hornet, in preparation for the open pit mining sequence. A total of 10,710 metres of RC drilling was completed targeting the Inferred Mineral Resource of the Mary Fault Zone mineralisation and K2B-related mineralisation.
Drilling along the K2B horizon intersected geology consistent with this mineralisation style increasing confidence in the current resource model. The drilling also intersected extension of a thin, flat, south-west dipping zone, characterized by quartz veining. The flat dipping zone, named Hode2, is thought to be associated with the fault dipping, mineralised structures (Pode and Hera) at the RHP mine. Drilling along the Mary fault zone intersected supergene mineralisation associated with the Mary fault.

Ambition
During the year a total of 24 holes for 5,117m of surface drilling was completed at the Ambition Prospect. Drilling included surface RC and diamond drilling. Drilling was designed to test a high-grade plunge, interpreted within the mineralisation corridor, on a 40x40 metre to 80 x 80 metre spacing.
Results for 18 drill holes were returned during the year. Drilling successfully confirmed the presence of a southward plunging, high-grade zone. Gold mineralisation is hosted within a thin, (less than 0.5m) laminated vein, within a wide shear zone.

Financial Review
The following results and commentary related to the 12 months ended 30 June 2025 during with the Group reported a statutory profit after tax of $13,132,761. This is an increase of $6,470,266 on the previous year (30 June 2024: $6,662,495). The Group recorded a modest decrease in gold ounces sold down to 10,000 ounces compared to 11,000 ounces in the prior year. This was however offset by a significantly higher gold price, which contributed to a $8,511,100 increase in revenue over the period.
Overall costs decreased by $605,960 during the year. This was primarily due to a reduction in impaired Raleigh Mine Development costs to $3,142,489 (30 June 2024: $4,291,055). Offsetting this were:
-
Increased mining costs of $11,654,634 (30 June 2024: $10,978,814)
-
Reduced processing costs of $2,266,910 (30 June 2024: $2,404,165)
Financial Position
The current assets of the Group increased on 30 June 2025 to $82,789,075 from $81,234,168 at 30 June 2024. This was mainly due to an increase in cash held at the end of the period to $3,571,520 (30 June 2024: $3,169,019) and an increase of EKJV product stocks of $3,351,989 listed under inventories (June 2024: $2,306,238).
The non-current assets of the Company increased on 30 June 2025 to $29,954,660 (30 June 2024: $23,009,159). This was mainly due to increased investment in mining equipment and mine development associated with the Hornet Open Pit, RPH and Raleigh.
Total liabilities increased on 30 June 2025 to $6,632,335 (30 June 2024: $5,577,092), mainly due to a higher tax provision arising from the increased profit at 30 June 2025.
Cash Flow
Operating activities: The net cash inflows were $19,539,662 this year compared to $14,454,784 at 30 June 2024, driven mainly by the significantly higher average gold price for the financial year 2025.
Investing activities: Net cash outflow increased to $13,449,565 from $7,745,738 primarily due to increased mine development spending, including the new Hornet Open Pit and the acquisition of mining equipment for the East Kundana Joint Venture.
Financing activities: Net cash outflow slightly decreased to $5,687,596 from $5,699,078, driven by terminated lease agreements.

During the year, the Company extended the current on market share buy-back to 9 January 2026. As at 30 June 2025, 2,415,082 shares remain available to be for repurchase under the buy-back. No shares were bought back during the year. The number of securities on issue as at 30 June 2025 is 56,875,961.
Material business risks
The material business risks the Group believes may have an impact on its operating and financial prospects are as follows:
Gold price and silver price fluctuations
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the gold and silver prices which can impact revenue. The Board actively monitors the price of gold and silver to ensure that the best prices are achieved on each sale.
Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
The Group’s Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are estimates based largely on interpretations of geological data. No assurances can be given that Resources and Reserves are accurate and that the indicated levels of gold and silver can be recovered from any project. To reduce the risks the Group ensures estimates are determined in accordance with the JORC Code and compiled or reviewed by qualified competent persons.
East Kundana Joint Venture risk
The Group does not have a controlling interest in the East Kundana Joint Venture and is therefore reliant on the manager to effectively manage the operating risks of mining operations and to provide accurate information in relation to those operations.
The Group monitors the operations of the Joint Venture via Operating and Technical Committees. The Group also makes every effort to ensure that the information received from the Manager is accurate seeking external advice or making its own enquiries where necessary.
Government regulation
The Group’s operations and exploration are subject to extensive laws. The Group cannot give any assurances that future amendments to current laws or regulations won’t have a material impact on its projects. The Group monitors new laws and regulations to ensure compliance and addresses any impacts on projects as early as possible .
Exploration and development risk
Sustaining or increasing current levels of production in the future is in part dependent on successful exploration and development activities. There is a risk that Ore Reserves may be depleted and not offset by new discoveries or developments.

Climate change
The Group acknowledges that its business may be impacted by the effects of climate change. The Group is committed to understanding these risks and developing strategies to manage their impact.
Environmental, health and safety
The Group has environmental liabilities associated with each project which have arisen because of its mining operations and exploration projects. The Group is subject to extensive laws and regulations governing the protection and management of the health and safety of workers, the environment, waste disposal, mine development and rehabilitation and local cultural heritage.
The Group seeks to obtain and comply with the required permits and approvals needed for each project. It acknowledges that any delays in obtaining these approvals may affect the Group’s operations or its ability to continue its operations. Any non-compliance may result in regulatory fines and/or civil liability.
Significant changes in the state of affairs
In January 2025, the Company announced an extension to its on-market share buy-back programme. The programme end date was extended to 9 January 2026. The maximum number of shares that can be acquired during the programme is 2,415,082. No shares were bought back during the year.
There were no other significant changes in the state of affairs of the Group during the financial year.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year
No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2025 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group's operations, the results of those operations, or the Group's state of affairs in future financial years.
Likely developments and expected results of operations
The Group intends to continue its exploration, development and production activities on its existing projects and to acquire further suitable projects for exploration as opportunities arise.
Environmental regulation
The Group is subject to and compliant with all aspects of environmental regulation of its exploration and mining activities. The directors are not aware of any environmental law that is not being complied with.
Greenhouse gas and energy data reporting requirements
The Group is subject to the reporting requirements of both the Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 and the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007.
The Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act 2006 requires the Group to assess its energy usages, including the identification, investigation and evaluation of energy saving opportunities, and to report publicly on the assessments undertaken, including what action the Group intends to take as a result. Due to this Act, the Group, via its participation in the EKJV, has registered with the Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism as a participant entity and reports the results from its assessments.
The National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 requires the Group, via its participation in the EKJV, to report its annual greenhouse gas emissions and energy use. The Group has previously implemented systems and processes for the collection and calculation of data.

Remuneration report (audited)
The remuneration report, which has been audited, outlines the director and key management personnel remuneration arrangements for the Group and the Company, in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and its Regulations.
15
Rand Mining Limited Directors' report 30 June 2025
Key management personnel are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including all directors.
The remuneration report is set out under the following main headings:
-
Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
-
Details of remuneration
-
Service agreements
-
Share-based compensation
-
Additional information

Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
The objective of the Group and Company's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders and conforms with the market best practice for delivery of reward. The Board of Directors ('the Board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:
-
competitiveness and reasonableness;
-
acceptability to shareholders;
-
performance linkage / alignment of executive compensation; and
-
transparency.
The Board is responsible for determining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors and executives. The performance of the Group and Company depends on the quality of its directors and executives. The remuneration philosophy is to attract, motivate and retain high performance and high quality personnel.
The Board has structured an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and complementary to the reward strategy of the Group and Company.
The reward framework is designed to align executive reward to shareholders' interests. The Board has considered that it should seek to enhance shareholders' interests by:
-
having economic profit as a core component of plan design; and
-
attracting and retaining high calibre executives.
Additionally, the reward framework should seek to enhance executives' interests by:
-
rewarding capability and experience;
-
reflecting competitive reward for contribution to growth in shareholder wealth; and
-
providing a clear structure for earning rewards.
In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the structure of non-executive directors and executive directors' remuneration are separate.
Non-executive directors' remuneration
Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of the directors. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board. The Board may seek the advice of independent remuneration consultants to ensure non-executive directors' fees and payments are appropriate and in line with the market (refer 'use of remuneration consultants' below). There are no termination or retirement benefits for non-executive directors other than statutory superannuation.
ASX listing rules requires that the aggregate non-executive directors remuneration shall be determined periodically by a general meeting. The most recent determination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 30 November 2005, where the shareholders approved an aggregate remuneration of $160,000.
Executive remuneration
The Group and Company aims to reward executives with a level and mix of remuneration based on their position and responsibility, which is both fixed and variable.
The executive remuneration and reward framework has three components:
-
base pay and non-monetary benefits;
-
short-term performance incentives; and
-
long-term incentives.
The combination of these comprises the executive's total remuneration.
Fixed remuneration, consisting of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board, based on individual and business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group and comparable market remunerations.
16
Rand Mining Limited Directors' report 30 June 2025
Executives can receive their fixed remuneration in the form of cash or other fringe benefits (for example motor vehicle benefits) where it does not create any additional costs to the Group and adds additional value for the executive.
The long-term incentives ('LTI') currently consists of long service leave.
Group performance and link to remuneration
The directors' remuneration levels are not directly dependent upon the Group and Company's performance or any other performance conditions. However, practically, whether shareholders vote for or against an increase in the aggregate director remuneration will depend upon, amongst other things, how the Group and Company have performed.
Use of remuneration consultants
During the financial year ended 30 June 2025, the Company did not engage remuneration consultants to review its existing remuneration policies or provide recommendations on how to improve both the STI and LTI program.
Voting and comments made at the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting ('AGM')
At the last AGM, 100.00% of the shareholders voted to adopt the remuneration report for the year ended 30 June 2024. The Company did not receive any specific feedback at the AGM regarding its remuneration practices.

-

Rand Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 1. General information
The financial statements cover Rand Mining Limited as a Group consisting of Rand Mining Limited ('Company', 'parent entity' or 'Rand') and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the year (referred to in these financial statements as the 'Group'). The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Rand Mining Limited's functional and presentation currency.
Rand Mining Limited is a listed public company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Its registered office and principal place of business is:
Suite G1, 49 Melville Parade
South Perth WA 6151
A description of the nature of the Group's operations and its principal activities are included in the directors' report, which is not part of the financial statements.
The financial statements were authorised for issue, in accordance with a resolution of directors, on 12 September 2025. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.
Note 2. Material accounting policy information
The accounting policies that are material to the Group are set out below. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, unless otherwise stated.
New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Group during the financial year ended 30 June 2025.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
The following Accounting Standards and Interpretations are most relevant to the Group:
AASB 2020-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current
The standard makes amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of AASB 101 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
-
What is meant by a right to defer settlement;
-
That a right to defer must exist at the end of the reporting period;
-
That classification is unaffected by the likelihood that an entity will exercise its deferral right; and
-
That only if an embedded derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument would the terms of a liability not impact its classification.
The amendments were effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and must be applied retrospectively. The amendments did not have a material impact on the Group.
Basis of preparation
These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB').
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed in note 3.
Parent entity information
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the Group only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in note 27.
26
Rand Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of the Company as at 30 June 2025 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.
Subsidiaries are all those 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. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between entities in the Group are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The acquisition of subsidiaries is accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. A change in ownership interest, without the loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction, where the difference between the consideration transferred and the book value of the share of the noncontrolling interest acquired is recognised directly in equity attributable to the parent.
Where the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets including goodwill, liabilities and non-controlling interest in the subsidiary together with any cumulative translation differences recognised in equity. The Group recognises the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any investment retained together with any gain or loss in profit or loss.
Operating segments
Operating segments are presented using the 'management approach', where the information presented is on the same basis as the internal reports provided to the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM'). The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to operating segments and assessing their performance.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue as follows:
Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.
Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are recognised as a refund liability.
Sale of gold
Sale of gold revenue is recognised at the point of sale, which is where the customer has taken delivery of the goods, the risks and rewards are transferred to the customer and there is a valid sales contract.
Dividends
Dividends are received from financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss ('FVPL'). Dividends are recognised as other income in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established. This applies even if they are paid out of pre-acquisition profits, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of an investment.
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.
Income tax
The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable.
27
Rand Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences at the tax rates expected to be applied when the assets are recovered or liabilities are settled, based on those tax rates that are enacted or substantively enacted, except for:
-
When the deferred income tax asset or liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable profits; or
-
When the taxable temporary difference is associated with interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, and the timing of the reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference 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 recognised and unrecognised deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date. Deferred tax assets recognised are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that future taxable profits will be available for the carrying amount to be recovered. Previously unrecognised deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that there are future taxable profits available to recover the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only where there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities; and they relate to the same taxable authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend to settle simultaneously.
Rand Mining Limited (the 'head entity') and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation regime. The head entity and each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group continue to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The tax consolidated group has applied the 'separate taxpayer within group' approach in determining the appropriate amount of taxes to allocate to members of the tax consolidated group.
In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, the head entity also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from each subsidiary in the tax consolidated group.
Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the tax consolidated group. The tax funding arrangement ensures that the intercompany charge equals the current tax liability or benefit of each tax consolidated group member, resulting in neither a contribution by the head entity to the subsidiaries nor a distribution by the subsidiaries to the head entity.
Inventories
Gold bullion, gold in transit and ore stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated future sales price of the product the Group expects to realise when the product is processed and sold, less costs to complete production. The costs of producing silver are not separately identifiable and are allocated between the products on a rational and consistent basis based on the relative sales value at the completion of production.
Cost is determined using the average method and comprises direct purchase costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable costs including depreciation and amortisation, incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
Consumables are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific items of stock. A regular review is undertaken to determine the extent of any provision or obsolescence.
Joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. The Group has recognised its share of jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of joint operations. These have been incorporated in the financial statements under the appropriate classifications.
Investments and other financial assets
Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the shortterm with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.
28
Rand Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortised cost. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Group's assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.
Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.
Property, plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment over their expected useful lives as follows:
Mining plant and equipment 1 - 15 years Construction work-in-progress Not depreciated until ready for use
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the Group. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss.
Mining plant and equipment and capital work in progress
Mining plant and equipment and capital work in progress is carried at cost which includes acquisition, transportation, installation, and commissioning costs. Costs also include the present value of decommissioning costs and finance charges capitalised during the construction period where such expenditure is financed by borrowings. Costs are not depreciated until such time as the asset has been completed and ready for use.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group, and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
Exploration and evaluation
Exploration and evaluation expenditures are typically expenses, unless it can be demonstrated that the related expenditures will generate a future economic benefit, in which case these costs are capitalised.
Examples of common exploration and evaluation activities
Exploration activities which primarily consist of expenditures relating to drilling programs and include, but are not limited to:
-
Researching and analysing existing exploration data;
-
Conducting geological mapping studies; and
-
Exploratory drilling and sampling including:
-
Taking core samples for analysis (assay work);
-
Sinking exploratory shafts;
-
Opening shallow pits; and
-
Drilling to determine volume and grade of deposits in an area known to contain mineral resources, or for the purpose of converting mineral resources into proven and probable reserves.
Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment when facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount is assessed as exceeding recoverable amount, the excess is recognised as an impairment expense in the profit or loss.
Mine development assets
Capitalised mine development costs include expenditures incurred to develop new ore bodies to define further mineralisation in existing ore bodies, to expand the capacity of a mine and to maintain production. Mine development also includes costs transferred from the exploration and evaluation phase once production commences in the area of interest.
29
Rand Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Amortisation of mine development is computed by the units of production basis over the estimated proved and probable reserves. Proved and probable mineral reserves reflect estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves which can be recovered in the future from known mineral deposits. These reserves are amortised from the date on which production commences. The amortisation is calculated from recoverable proved and probable reserves and a predetermined percentage of the recoverable measured, indicated and inferred resource. This percentage is reviewed annually.
Restoration costs expected to be incurred are provided for as part of the development phase that give rise to the need for restoration.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are reviewed 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 carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount.
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash-generating unit.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability. The increase in the provision resulting from the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Site rehabilitation
Rehabilitation costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with the requirements of the mining permits. Such costs are determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology.
Rehabilitation costs are recognised at present value as a non-current liability. An equivalent amount is capitalised as part of the cost of the asset when an obligation arises to decommission or restore a site to certain condition after abandonment as a result of bringing the assets to its present location. The capitalised cost is amortised over the life of the project and the provision is accreted periodically as the discounting of the liability unwinds. The unwinding of the discount is recorded as a finance cost.
Fair value measurement
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market.
Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value are those that are appropriate in the circumstances and which maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
For recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.
Dividends
Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the Company.
Goods and Services Tax ('GST') and other similar taxes
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the tax authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of the acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.
Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority is included in other receivables or other payables in the statement of financial position.
Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the tax authority, are presented as operating cash flows.
30
Rand Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 2. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the tax authority.
New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted by the Group for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2025. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations, most relevant to the Group, are set out below.
AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with early adoption permitted. The standard replaces AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements', although many of the requirements have been carried forward unchanged and is accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in AASB 107 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’. The standard will affect presentation and disclosure in the financial statements, including introducing five categories in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income: operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations. The standard introduces two mandatory sub-totals in the statement: 'Operating profit' and 'Profit before financing and income taxes'. There are also new disclosure requirements for 'management-defined performance measures', such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation ('EBITDA') or 'adjusted profit'. The standard provides enhanced guidance on grouping of information (aggregation and disaggregation), including whether to present this information in the primary financial statements or in the notes. The Group will adopt this standard from 1 July 2027 and it is expected that there will be a significant change to the layout of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
Inventories
The provision for impairment of inventories assessment requires a degree of estimation and judgement. The level of the provision is assessed by taking into account the recent sales experience, the ageing of inventories and other factors that affect inventory obsolescence.
Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained metal ounces based on assay data, and the estimated recovery percentage based on the expected processing method. Stockpile tonnages are verified by periodic surveys.
Estimation of useful lives of assets
The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment and finite life intangible assets. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non-strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down.
Income tax
The Group is subject to income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgement is required in determining the provision for income tax. There are many transactions and calculations undertaken during the ordinary course of business for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. The Group recognises liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on the Group's current understanding of the tax law. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the carrying amounts, such differences will impact the current and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
Recovery of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences only if the Group considers it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Recoverability of assets
The recoverable amount of each ‘cash-generating unit’ and 'investment in joint arrangement' is determined by its value in use. Assessments of value in use require the use of estimates and assumptions including discount rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance, as well as the value that a market participant would place on any resources which have yet to be proven as reserves associated with the CGU.
Inventories are recognised at the lower of cost and net realisable value which is calculated. The computation of net realisable value involves significant judgements and estimates in relation to future processing costs, commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, and timing of processing and sale.
31
Rand Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 3. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)
Mine development assets
The estimated quantities of economically recoverable reserves and resources are based upon interpretations of geological and geophysical models and require assumptions to be made regarding factors such as estimates of short and long term exchange rates, estimates of short and long term commodity prices, future capital requirements and future operating performance. Changes in reported reserves and resources estimates can impact the carrying value of deferred mining expenditure, intangible assets, provisions for mine rehabilitation, the recognition of deferred tax assets, as well as the amount of depreciation and amortisation charged to the profit or loss.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
The application of the Group's accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure requires judgement to determine whether future economic benefits are likely, from either future exploitation or sale, or whether activities have not reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.
Provision for site rehabilitation
The ultimate rehabilitation costs are uncertain, and cost estimates may vary in response to many factors. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from the amounts currently provided. Therefore, significant estimates and assumptions are made by the managers of the Joint Venture in determining the provision for mine rehabilitation. As a result, there could be significant adjustments to the provisions established which would affect future financial results. The provision at the reporting date represents management's best estimate of the present value of the future rehabilitation costs required.
Note 4. Operating segments
Identification of reportable operating segments
The Group has no separate operating segments as the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources reflect the financial position and performance of the Group as a whole.
Major customers
During the year ended 30 June 2025 approximately 100% (30 June 2024: 100%) of the Group's external revenue was derived from sales to one customer (30 June 2024: one customer).
Geographical information
The Group's revenue and non-current assets are all Australian based and therefore, this information is detailed throughout the financial statements.

The recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
Drilling activities for the year included 13,149 metres of exploration drilling across the East Kundana JV mining deposits. Areas for exploration drilling included Hornet open pit and Sadler resource targeting
Impairment
At each reporting date the Group undertakes an assessment of the carrying amount of its exploration and evaluation assets. During the year the Group identified indicators of impairment on certain exploration and evaluation assets under AASB 6 'Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources'. As a result of this review, an impairment loss of $622,662 (30 June 2024: $603,432) has been recognised in the statement of profit or loss in relation to areas of interest where no future exploration and evaluation activities are expected.

Ordinary shares
Ordinary shares entitle the holder to participate in any dividends declared and any proceeds attributable to shareholders should the Company be wound up, in proportions that consider both the number of shares held and the extent to which those shares are paid up. The fully paid ordinary shares have no par value and the Company does not have a limited amount of authorised capital.
On a show of hands every member present at a meeting in person or by proxy shall have one vote and upon a poll each share shall have one vote.
Options
The Company has no options on issue.
Share buy-back
In January 2025, the Company announced it would extend the on-market buy-back of ordinary shares to 9 January 2026. The number of shares remaining to be bought back is 2,415,082. During the year no shares were bought back.
Capital risk management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
Capital is regarded as total equity, as recognised in the statement of financial position, plus net debt. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group would look to raise capital when an opportunity to invest in a business or company was seen as value adding relative to the current parent entity's share price at the time of the investment. The Group is not actively pursuing additional investments in the short term as it continues to integrate and grow its existing businesses in order to maximise synergies.

Note 20. Financial instruments
Financial risk management objectives
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and ageing analysis for credit risk.
Risk management is carried out by senior finance executives ('finance') under policies approved by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). These policies include identification and analysis of the risk exposure of the Group and appropriate procedures, controls and risk limits. Finance identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks within the Group's operating units when deemed necessary. Finance reports to the Board on a monthly basis.
Market risk
Foreign currency risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant foreign currency risk.
Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity securities price risks and bullion price risk. This arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the statement of financial position as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and bullion held as inventory. The price risk of equity securities is not considered significant.
40
Rand Mining Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 30 June 2025
Note 20. Financial instruments (continued)
The policy of the Group is to sell gold at spot price and so it has not entered into any hedging contracts. The Group's revenues were exposed to fluctuation in the price of gold. If the average selling price of gold of $4,362.75 per ounce (30 June 2024: $3,171.54) for the financial year had increased/decreased by 10% the change in the profit before income tax for the Group would have been an increase/decrease of $4,362,746 (30 June 2024: $3,488,694).
If there was a 10% increase or decrease in the market price of gold, the net realisable value of bullion on hand would increase/(decrease) by $14,858,546 (30 June 2024: $11,528,897) and the bullion in transit would increase/(decrease) by $398,482 (30 June 2024: $289,181). As gold on hand is held at cost there would be no impact on profit or loss.
Interest rate risk
The Group is not exposed to any significant interest rate risk.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group has a strict code of credit, including obtaining agency credit information, confirming references and setting appropriate credit limits. The Group obtains guarantees where appropriate to mitigate credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date to recognised financial assets is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the statement of financial position and notes to the financial statements. The Group does not hold any collateral.
The Group has a credit risk exposure with the carrying amount of receivables. For some receivables the Group obtains agreements which can be called upon if the counterparty is in default under the terms of the agreement.
Generally, trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators of this include the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, no active enforcement activity and a failure to make contractual payments for a period greater than 1 year.
Liquidity risk
Vigilant liquidity risk management requires the Group to maintain sufficient liquid assets (mainly cash and cash equivalents).
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
Remaining contractual maturities
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its financial instrument liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the financial liabilities are required to be paid. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows disclosed as remaining contractual maturities and therefore these totals may differ from their carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

Note 21. Fair value measurement
Fair value hierarchy
The following tables detail the Group's assets and liabilities, measured or disclosed at fair value, using a three level hierarchy, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the entire fair value measurement, being:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
| 30 Jun 2025 Assets Listed securities - equity Total assets 30 Jun 2024 Assets Listed securities - equity Total assets |
Level 1 $ 67,558 |
Level 2 $ - |
Level 3 $ - |

Total $ 100,822 |
|
| 100,822 | - | - | 100,822 |
There were no transfers between levels during the financial year.
Unless otherwise stated, the carrying amounts of financial instruments reflect their fair value. The carrying amounts of trade receivables and trade payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the remaining contractual maturities at the current market interest rate that is available for similar financial instruments.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF RAND MINING LIMITED
Report on the Financial Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Rand Mining Limited (the “Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other 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 material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement, and the directors’ declaration of the Company and the consolidated entity comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the year’s end or from time to time during the financial year.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of Rand Mining Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
i) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2025 and of its 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the consolidated entity 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.
Key Audit Matters
key audit matters are matters that, in our professional judgement, 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, and 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 contex

Inventory valuation and existence
Why significant
At 30 June 2025, the consolidated entity held inventories of $78,933,714 (2024: $77,800,176), as disclosed in Note 10.
As described in the Note 2, inventories are carried at the lower of the cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the average method and comprises direct production and purchase costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable costs.
The consolidated entity has a large balance of Inventory at balance date and significant management judgements and estimates are involved in the valuation and therefore this is considered to be a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
-
Third party confirmation of the quantities held at 30 June 2025,
-
Reviewing stock valuation calculations and assessing management assumptions,
-
Testing inventory to ensure they were held at the lower of cost and net realisable value and evaluating management judgement with regards to AASB 102 Inventories,
-
Assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Note 2, 3 and 10.
Carrying value of mine development assets
Why significant
At 30 June 2025 the carrying value of mine development assets was $18,904,979 (2024: $16,869,521), as disclosed in Note 14. Estimates and judgments in relation to mine development assets is detailed at Note 3.
Each year management is required to assess whether there are any indicators that the total project may be impaired in accordance with AASB 136 Impairment of Assets. Management’s impairment assessment indicated that impairment was required for the Raleigh Mining Operation. See below for further information.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
-
Reviewing the component auditor working papers,
-
Reviewing management’s assessment of impairment of the CGUs,
-
Performing calculations of the net present value of the CGU based on key assumptions, such as the ore produced during the year, the production and processing mining costs during the year, ore reserves for the life of mine (LOM), discount rates forecasted for the LOM, inflation rates expected for the LOM,
51
==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Why significant
Other mining operations were not considered to be impaired. This assessment was based on several key assumptions such as:
-
Large reserves and production estimates,
-
Gold price at 30 June 2025,
-
Increase of the market interest rates,
-
No obsolescence or physical damage to operations.
Management decided to fully impair the Raleigh mining operations CGU by the amount of $3,142,489 due to impairment indicators.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
-
Reviewing competent persons report on the mineable reserves and valuation, it’s congruence with management’s assessment and the competence/ independence of the author,
-
Ensuring valid mining licenses held and consider impairment of assets for which no license is now held,
-
Ensuring that disclosures within the financial statements are accurate and that all estimates and judgements made by management are included therein,
-
Assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in Note 2, 3 and 14.
As the impairment assessment requires significant estimates and judgments, we have identified this as a key audit matter.
Carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure
Why significant
As at 30 June 2025 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $2,671,713 (2024: $2,368,373), as disclosed in Note 13. Exploration and Evaluation assets written off during the year amounted to $622,662.
The consolidated entity’s accounting policy in respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is outlined in Note 2 and 3.
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures:
-
Conducting a detailed review of management’s assessment of impairment trigger events prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including:
-
Assessing whether the rights to tenure of the areas of interest remained current at reporting date as well as confirming that rights to tenure are expected to be renewed for tenements that will expire in the near future,
52
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Why significant
Significant judgement is required:
-
In determining whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and evaluation assets should be tested for impairment in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”),
-
In determining the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB 6, and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy. In particular:
-
whether the particular areas of interest meet the recognition conditions for an asset,
-
which elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for capitalisation for each area of interest.
-
Holding discussions with the Directors and management as to the status of ongoing exploration programmes for the areas of interest, as well as assessing if there was evidence that a decision had been made to discontinue activities in any specific areas of interest,
-
obtaining and assessing evidence of the consolidated entity’s future intention for the areas of interest, including reviewing future budgeted expenditure and related work programmes.
-
Considering whether exploration activities for the are of interest had reached a stage where a reasona assessment of economically recoverable reserv existed,
-
Testing, on a sample basis, exploration and evaluat expenditure incurred during the year for complian with AASB 6 and the consolidated entity’s account policy,
-
Assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosu in Note 2, 3 and 13.
Other Information
Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025, 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.
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 Directors’ for the Financial Report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:
- a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001; and
the consolidated
.
53
==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
-
b) entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act2001; and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:-
-
i) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
ii) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated entity’s ability 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 consolidated entity 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 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 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 Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement 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 consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity’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 consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity to express an opinion on the group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
54
==> picture [125 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
•
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 with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period 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.
Report on the Remuneration Report
Opinion
We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2025.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Rand Mining Limited for the year ended 30 June 2025, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
Responsibilities
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Additional Resources and Reserves information
Mineral Resources comparison
At 30 June 2025, Rand Mining Limited’s Mineral Resources amounted to 1.69 million tonnes grading 3.7 g/t gold for 203,200 ounces of contained gold.
The Mineral Resource was reported within A$3,300/oz optimised mining shapes and is inclusive of Ore Reserves but excludes mined areas and areas sterilised by mining activities.
Comparison with the Mineral Resources at 30 June 2024 shows an increase of 415,000 tonnes and an increase of 13,700 ounces due to revised costs and design parameters, revised gold price assumption, mining depletion and stockpile adjustment.
The design changes are attributable to:
-
Assumed gold price change from A$2,500/oz. to A$3,300/oz.
-
Revised processing costs based on the new 4.2 million tonne per annum plant
-
Underground mining costs increased in line with review of actual costs
-
Sustaining capital and haulage costs excluded

Key changes to the 31 December 2024 Ore Reserve estimate included updated block modelling and an increase of the minimum Gold Price. that was used for generating cut-off grades and optimisations from A$1,800 to A$3,000 per ounce. Cost assumptions and mining modifying factors were updated in line with the latest Life of Mine (LOM) plan, which confirms the economic viability of each mining area based on the Ore Reserve commodity price assumption of A$3,000/oz.
The reported Ore Reserve estimate is defined within appropriately designed open pit shapes or underground stope shapes which have considered relevant modifying factors and include planned dilution and ore loss.
Comparison with the Ore Reserves at 30 June 2024 shows an increase of approximately 107,500 tonnes and an increase of 3,200 ounces.
