Infill Reverse Circulation ('RC') drilling was completed at Hornet, in preparation for the open pit mining sequence, due to commence in quarter four FY25. A total of 4,158 metres of RC drilling was completed into the Inferred mineral resource, within the Mary fault mineralisation (figure 1). For the Mary Fault position, a dense drill spacing of 5 metres by 5 metres was required to determine continuity of mineralisation. Drilling results are positive with a high-grade mineralised zone defined (figure 2 and table 1). These drilling results will be included in a Mineral Resource update and form part of an updated mining sequence.

A re-interpretation of the ore zone at Raleigh was completed, with new mineralised structures identified in the hanging wall of the Raleigh Main Vein ('RMV'). These new lodes are associated with the Skinners Vein structure and a are labelled SKV2, SKV3, SKV4, Orinoco and El Dorado lodes (Figure 1). The Skinners Vein has been extended down dip to beneath the 5500RL. The new interpretation of the hanging-wall mineralisation is based on reviewing historic drill hole data and applying learnings from the nearby Kundana ore zones.

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

There were no transfers between levels during the financial half-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.

Note 11. Contingent liabilities

The Group has no contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2024 or 30 June 2024.

TO THE MEMBERS OF RAND MINING LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Rand Mining Limited (the company) and controlled entities (consolidated entity) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, 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 half-year ended on that date, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at 31 December 2024, or during the half year.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Rand Mining Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report.

Independence

We are independent of the company 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 annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal controls as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the halfyear financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the halfyear financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2024 and its performance for the half year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporation Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
