REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS

Operating Results

RTG holds a 40% interest in Mt. Labo Exploration and Development Corporation ("Mt. Labo") which holds the highgrade Copper and Gold Mabilo Project in the Philippines.

Mt. Labo has secured the Mining Permit, the successful Final Award in the SIAC matter, won the Setting Aside action of Galeo Equipment Corporation ("Galeo") in Singapore and secured an offer of debt finance and offtake agreement for development of Stage 1, the DSO. Mt. Labo and its local shareholder have been undertaking a restructuring, including a Rehabilitation process which is dependent on the results of the restructuring. The process is ongoing and RTG continues to be in discussions with the various parties in an effort to reach an equitable restructuring of Mt. Labo and the Mabilo Project.

In January 2022, Ms Gloria Tan Climaco, our local partner in the Philippines, passed away. Ms Climaco had sought to sell her shares in SageCapital Partners, Inc ("SageCapital") (which in turn holds an interest in Mt. Labo) to interests associated with the Philippines based Villar Family. RTG believes these developments have the potential to be very beneficial for the Mabilo Project. SageCapital, Mt. Labo and RTG are currently committed to resolving any open issues which have arisen as a consequence of the above recent developments and the proposed restructuring, such that the Mabilo Project can be moved forward expeditiously and professionally in the national interest and with the full support of all shareholders of Mt. Labo. Discussions are continuing positively in an effort to resolve any outstanding matters.

The Mabilo Project is permitted to proceed to development and operation. Mt. Labo is pleased with the recent election of President Ferdinand Marco Jr and looks forward to working with the new Administration to assist in moving the Mabilo Project forward in full compliance with the Philippines Mining Act of 1995 and all other applicable laws and regulations.

RTG is the nominated development partner with the joint venture company established by the Special Mining Lease Osikaiyang Landowners Association ("SMLOLA") and Central Exploration Pty Ltd ("Central"), in the Landowner proposal with respect to the redevelopment of the Copper-Gold Panguna Project located in the Central Region of the island of Bougainville, within the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.

The SMLOLA was established by the Autonomous Bougainville Government ("ABG") nearly a decade ago to exclusively represent the Customary Owners of the land within the original Special Mining Lease and which contains the resource endowment of the Panguna mine. The other ABG established Panguna Landowner Associations cover different areas and upon which future infrastructure may, or may not be located, but do not include areas of any significant mineral resources. SMLOLA is the only ABG established Landowner Association covering the current mineral resources of Panguna.

RTG MINING INC. DIRECTORS' REPORT

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND RESULTS - continued

Operating Results - continued

Both SMLOLA and RTG are highly respectful of the ABG President Toroama's call for the Panguna landowners to unite and the landowners have been actively working to deliver on the requests of the President. The landowners were appreciative of their meetings with the President and are heartened by his focus on successfully redeveloping the Panguna Mine.

There has been significant activity within the Panguna community, with the Mining Department seeking to work with the customary landowners to move towards a re-opening of Panguna to support the Independence plans, focussing on unity and aligning the interests of all parties.

With the support of the ABG, there was a recent successful reconciliation event at Guava Village with landowners and aggrieved parties, which was a very important step under local custom and a necessary step to assist landowners and Bougainville more widely to move forward with any plans at Panguna.

RTG holds a majority stake (90%) in the high-grade Chanach Gold and Copper Project ("Chanach Project") in the Kyrgyz Republic. Field work was started during the quarter with mobilisation of equipment and opening of access roads. Detailed topographic survey work along with a structural survey will be performed during the September quarter followed by further trench sampling follow up work from last season which resulted in rock chip samples with gold grades up to 9,485 ppm.

Net loss after tax for the period ended June 30, 2022, was $3,054,812 (June 30, 2021, loss: $4,117,797).

Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Company continues to assess the wide-ranging impacts of COVID-19, responding decisively on several fronts. During the period, the Perth and Manila offices maintained normal working arrangements in compliance with countryspecific recommendations. The head office and project teams are operating at full capacity with reduced staff and working remotely where available, which to date has been both efficient and effective. Additionally, in the prior period, the Company undertook a review of costs and made significant adjustments, reducing overheads across the board.

AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

A copy of the auditor's independence declaration as required under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is set out on page 18, which forms part of the Directors' Report.

This report is made in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on September 8, 2022.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The consolidated interim financial statements of RTG are presented as at June 30, 2022, for the period January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022.

RTG was incorporated on December 27, 2012, and is domiciled in the British Virgin Islands. The Company's registered address is Craigmuir Chambers, Road Town, Tortola VG1110, British Virgin Islands. Its shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX").

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The consolidated interim financial statements are a general purpose condensed financial report which has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 34 ("IAS 34") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss which have been measured at fair value. Historical costs are generally based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

The financial report is presented in United States Dollars (US$) unless otherwise noted.

Significant accounting policies

The consolidated interim financial statements do not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the Company as in the annual audited financial statements. It is recommended that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended December 31, 2021, and any public announcements made by the Company during the period.

(i) Significant accounting judgments

The valuation of certain assets held by the Group is dependent upon the estimation of mineral resources and ore reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available.

Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may ultimately result in the reserves being restated. Such change in reserves could impact on asset carrying values.

(ii) Significant accounting estimates and assumptions

Impairment of capitalised exploration

The ultimate recoupment of the value of exploration and evaluation assets is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively sale, of the underlying mineral exploration properties. The consolidated Group undertakes at least on an annual basis, a comprehensive review for indicators of impairment of those assets. Should an indicator of impairment exist, there is significant estimation and judgement in determining the inputs and assumptions use in determining the recoverable amounts.

Significant accounting estimates and assumptions - continued

Carrying value of the investment in the Philippines Associates

The Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the Philippines Associates is impaired by reference to the underlying mining projects held by the Philippines Associates. These mining projects include the Mabilo Project, held by Mt. Labo, which is in the development phase, therefore requiring an impairment assessment in accordance with IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures. This assessment requires judgement in analysing possible impacts caused by factors such as the price of gold and copper, operating and capital estimates, ownership relationships and the political risk in which the project operates. The fair value in the current period was assessed to be nil due to the stage of development of the project where management are not yet in a position to determine expected future cash flows from the investment as the term sheet is yet to be finalised and the formal decision to mine has not been made yet.

Fair value of Financial Assets through Profit or Loss

The loans to Philippines Associates are financial assets and are classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") under IFRS 9. While management notes significant change in the circumstances of legal proceedings with the Tribunal handing down a Final Award in favour of Mt. Labo, Mt. Labo securing the Mining Permit and positive political changes in the Philippines, a material uncertainty of recoverability still remains to be recognised as the term sheet is yet to be finalised and the formal decision to mine has not been made yet. Due to these inherent uncertainties and risks outlined above, the Board have decided the credit risk is high enough to continue to impair the entirety of the loans to the Philippines Associates at June 2022.

Impairment of investment in Joint Venture

Where there is objective evidence that the investment in a joint venture should be impaired the carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment in the same way as other non-financial assets. Other non-financial assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down accordingly. Impairment charges are included in profit or loss.

COVID-19

Based on the information available the impact of COVID-19 on the Group has been considered. After considering the operations of the Group including the staffing, geographical areas, local government regulations there does not appear to be any significant impact on the Company's financials from the pandemic other than the necessary cost reductions that were made during the prior period.

Going concern

The financial statements for the half-year ended 30 June 2022 have been prepared on the basis that the group is a going concern and therefore, contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Group has considered its ability to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months from the approval of these financial statements, taking into consideration an estimation of the expected cash flows based on the needs of the business. This assessment assumes the Group will be able to realise assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of business beyond this period.

The Group's going concern assumption is supported by the following: the Group has cash of $4,879,342 as at 30 June 2022 and has a positive net working capital position of $3,968,614.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

To the members of RTG Mining Inc.

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of RTG Mining Inc. (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2022, 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, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of the Group does not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2022, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34").

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

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report

The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the Half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility 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 anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the half-year financial report does not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2022 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

A review of a 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.
