EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

The following significant events occurred subsequent to year end:

Rumble Secures 100% of Braeside Project

On 12 July 2021, the Company announced it had consolidated the entire Braeside Project, securing 100% of tenements E45/4368 and E45/2032, located in the east Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Braeside Project is now 100% held by the Company and is comprised of 4 granted exploration licenses (E45/2032, E45/4368, E45/4873 and E45/4874).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

Rumble has secured the remaining 30% of E45/2032 (having previously held 70%) from Maverick Exploration Pty Ltd, an unrelated vendor, in return for the issue of 1,800,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company free of all encumbrances.

Rumble has secured the remaining 30% of E45/4368 (having previously held 70%) from Great Sandy Pty Ltd, an unrelated vendor, in return for the issue of 500,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company free of all encumbrances.

Appointment of Non-Executive Director and Senior Management

On 14 July 2021, the Company was pleased to announce the appointment of highly experience mining executive, Mr Peter Venn, as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, and the appointment of Mr Ben Jones and Mr Luke Timmermans to the Senior Geological Management team.

Issue of Securities

On 14 July 2021, following shareholder approval obtained at the general meeting held on 17 June 2021, the Company advised it had completed the Director participation in the placement previously announced on 28 April 2021, being 2,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.50 per share to raise $1,000,000. The Company also issued 1,033,349 fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of 1,033,349 unlisted options with a $0.15 exercise price to raise $155,002.35.

Western Queen Project Resource Update

On 2 August 2021, the Company announced that it had completed the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) on two mining leases M59/45 and M59/208 at the 100% owned Western Queen Gold Project in Western Australia. The updated MRE produced a 35% increase in the total resource ounces from the previous estimate and a 145% increase in the total Indicated Resource ounces. The combined Indicated and Inferred Resource is 2.1Mt grading 2.42 g/t Au for a total of 163,268 ounces.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

During the period, the Company continued to implement the Board’s clear strategy to generate and drill test a pipeline of projects that are critically reviewed against stringent criteria, providing multiple avenues to world class discoveries. Rumble and its JV partners are currently advancing a portfolio of 7 projects in Tier 1 Regions across Western Australia.

The above mentioned strategy led to a Major Zinc-Lead-Silver “Tier 1 Potential” discovery at the Earaheedy Project in April 2021, 110km north of Wiluna, Western Australia. The Company is now focused on rapidly advancing the Earaheedy base metal discovery and believes that its strong cash position and dynamic and diversely skilled management team has it well placed to add significant value to the Company over the coming year.

Corporate Highlights

  • Technical Director Brett Keillor exercised options totaling $120,000 in September 2020

  • Completed Director placement participation approved at EGM for $114,455 in September 2020

  • $720,000 Director options exercised in December 2020

  • $871,624 R&D refund received in January 2021

  • Major Zinc-Lead Discovery at Earaheedy Project announced 19 April 2021

  • $40mil raised from new prominent institutional and sophisticated investors in April 2021 with shares allotted in May 2021

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

1.1 Earaheedy Zinc-Lead-Silver-Manganese Project, Wiluna, Western Australia

The Earaheedy Project is located approximately 110km north of Wiluna, Western Australia - Image 1. Rumble owns 75% of E69/3464 and Zenith Minerals Ltd (ASX: ZNC) owns 25%. Additionally, Rumble has two contiguous exploration license applications ELA69/3787 and E69/3862 (100% RTR) covering the known strike extent of the recently delineated Zn-Pb mineralized horizon and the inferred unconformity between the overlying Frere and underlying Yelma Formations within the Palaeoproterozoic Earaheedy Basin. On 19 April 2021 Rumble announced a major Zinc-Lead discovery with ‘Tier 1’ potential at the Earaheedy Project (See ASX Announcement 19th April 2021) and followed this up by announcing a large SEDEX style system emerging at the Earaheedy Project (see ASX Announcement 25 May 2021) within E69/3464. To date, there are 3 main prospects within E69/3464, Chinook, Magazine and Navajoh which lie 12km apart – Image 2. Within the Project area, Rumble controls 45km of prospective and largely drill untested mineralised strike, which has the potential for multiple large tonnage Zn – Pb deposits - Image 1.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

RC Drill Program – Chinook Zinc-Lead-Silver-Manganese Discovery

At Chinook the first pass drilling consisted of five (5) fences of vertical RC drill-holes located 500m apart, completed on 100m spacings for a total of 2,653m (26 drill holes). All drill-holes intersected the Zn-Pb mineralization hosted within the basal unit of the Frere Iron Formation above the unconformity (contact between Frere Iron Formation and Yelma Formation). Following the successful $40 million capital raising in May 2021, Rumble commenced a major 40,000m RC & Diamond drill program.

Image 3 – Drill Hole Location Plan – Chinook Prospect with Section AB Location

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

On the southwestern margin of Chinook, previous historical drill holes indicated that mineralisation in the oxide zone was depleted. However, in multiple new drill holes Rumble has intercepted wide zones of significant Pb-Zn oxide mineralisation with one intercept over 49m (true width) from a depth of only 18m (see Image 4). These results have highlighted the possibility for significant shallow oxide mineralisation which would complement the potential large scale sulphide open cut and underground deposit(s).

Within the current scoping drilling phase to define the limits of this highly significant mineralised system, each drill hole is enhancing the geological understanding of this very large sediment hosted Zn-Pb discovery. In combination with a number of geophysical techniques the Company is aiming to not only define the interpreted higher grade feeder structures at Chinook and Magazine but quickly vector in on potential new discoveries along the45km’s of strike that remains largely untested at the Earaheedy Project.

Potential Large-Scale Zinc-Lead-Silver-Manganese ‘Tier 1’ SEDEX Variant at Chinook

Initial interpretation indicates a large scale SEDEX (variant) deposit at Chinook – see Image 5.

  • Structural Setting: Inferred Extension Faults (possible feeders) – Swarms or clusters parallel to Lockeridge Fault hosting higher grade Zn-Pb

  • Geological Setting: Large underlying shale/carbonate horizon (Yelma Formation) – potential source of metal

  • Amenable large host horizon: Siltstone, shale, sandstone, marl/micrite and evaporite (Unconformity)

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

  • Mineralisation, which remains open in all directions, has characteristics of some SEDEX systems i.e.:

  • Associated higher grade Manganese (up to 21.34% Mn) and Silver (up to 16 g/t Ag) with the main Zinc-Lead mineralisation

  • Distal Barium anomalism (up to 1.45% Ba)

  • Low Cadmium with Zinc (60 to 100ppm) & high Zinc:Cadmium ratios (300 to 500)

  • Significant increase in Copper anomalism with feeder zones

  • Massive Pyrite zones (up to 27.5% FeS2) – peripheral to the base metal sulphides

  • Pervasive widespread low temperature silica alteration

First Stage Exploration Target

Rumble’s first stage Exploration Target at the Earaheedy Project is currently between 100 to 120 million tonnes at a grade ranging between 3.5% Zn-Pb to 4.5% Zn-Pb – see Table 1. This Exploration Target is only interpreted to a shallow depth (120m) and occurs within a small portion of the 45kms of prospective strike of the mineralised Zn-Pb horizon. Mineralisation remains open in all directions. The Exploration Target, being conceptual in nature, takes no account of geological complexity, possible mining method or metallurgical recovery factors. The Exploration Target has been estimated in order to provide an assessment of the potential for a large-scale Zn-Pb deposit(s) within the Earaheedy Project. The Exploration Target has been prepared and reported in accordance with the 2012 edition of the JORC Code.

Table 1: Near surface exploration target down to 120 metre - shallow depth

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. The Exploration Target is based on the current geological understanding of the geometry and continuity of the mineralisation and regional geology. This understanding is provided by an extensive drill hole database, regional mapping, coupled with an understanding of the host stratigraphic sequence and a feasibility study completed at the nearby Paroo Pb deposit. Included in the data on which this Exploration Target has been prepared is previous and ongoing RC/Diamond drilling of 17 holes for approximately 2,500m, 30 holes for 2,690m (three phases of RC drilling), 33 holes for 3,593m RC recently completed and diamond drilling of 4 holes for 1,199.8m completed by Rumble, along with 64 historic RC drill holes completed within the Project area (E69/3464) by previous explorers (refer exploration results in previous ASX announcements dated 5 February 2019 and 12 October 2017, 23rd January 2020, 19 April 2021 and 2 June 2021 which continue to apply and have not materially changed).

Some of the considerations in respect of the estimation of the Exploration Target include:

  • Drilling results have demonstrated strong continuity of shallow, flat lying mineralisation;

  • Over 45km’s of prospective strike and open (refer Image 2);

  • Minimum 600m cross strike (based on shallow 7.5° dip) and depth to 120m, based on drilling results.

  • True width (thickness) of mineralisation up to 52 metres received in drilling results; and

  • Specific gravity (SG) of 2.5 (world average SG of sandstone – not accounting for metal).

The Company intends to test the Exploration Target with drilling and this further drilling is expected to extend over approximately 12 months. Grade ranges have been either estimated or assigned from lower and upper grades of mineralisation received in drilling results.

1.2 Western Queen Au Project, Mt Magnet, Western Australia

The Western Queen Gold Project lies 110km NW of Mt Magnet within the Yalgoo mineral field of Western Australia comprising two 100% owned mining leases M59/45 and M59/208 and 2 exploration tenements E20/0967 and E59/2443 which are also 100% RTR. The Project is located within a 110km radius of three operating gold processing facilities.

Western Queen Resource Upgrade by 35% to 163,000oz, with significant Exploration Upside

  • A new independent Indicated & Inferred JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 2.1Mt grading 2.42 g/t Au for 163,268 oz Au has been assessed for the 100% owned Western Queen Project

  • Mineral Resource Estimate ounces increased by 35%

  • Indicated ounces increased by 145%

  • Western Queen South & Western Queen Central deposits remain open at depth

1.3 Lamil Gold-Copper JV Project, Paterson Province, Western Australia

The Lamil Project is located in between the major mining operations of the large Nifty Cu mine and the world class Telfer Au-Cu mine within the Paterson Province, East Pilbara, Western Australia (see Image 7).

In July 2019 Rumble signed a $10m Farm Out Agreement of the Lamil Project with AIC Mines (ASX: A1M). AIC can earn a 50% interest by spending $6 million over 4 years. Thereafter AIC can earn a further 15% by spending $4 million over 1 year if Rumble elects not to contribute.

The Lamil Dome target exhibits the key structural features required to host a “Telfer” style dome deposit (32Moz Au, 1Mt Cu resource) which lies 30km to the northeast of Rumble’s Lamil Dome Project (see Image 8).

1.4 Braeside and Warroo Projects, East Pilbara Western Australia

The Braeside and Warroo Projects (see Image 9) are located east of Marble Bar in the East Pilbara Region of Western Australia. Rumble has recently consolidated the Braeside Project, securing 100% of tenements E45/4368 and E45/2032. The Braeside Project is now held 100% by Rumble and comprises of 4 granted exploration licences (E45/2032, E45/4368, E45/4873 and E45/4874) with an area of 670 km². The remaining 30% on tenements E45/2032 and E45/4368 were acquired subsequent to year end (refer to ASX announcement on 12 July 2021). The Project hosts a regional scale porphyry epithermal and potential VMS province fracture system over 60km in strike and 8km wide. Over 30 high priority base metal targets have been generated including:

  • Barkers Well Prospect – 800m long fracture zone with multiple high grade Pb breccia pipes

  • Camel Hump Copper Prospect – Wide zone of oxide stringer Cu hosted in volcaniclastic siltstone and shale – VMS potential

The Rumble 100% owned Warroo Project consists of E45/5366 and E45/5689 for 793 km². The host lithology to the Cu mineralisation at Camel Hump has similar characteristics to the Warroo Hill Member lithologies.

1.5 Munarra Gully Au-Cu-Ag-Zn Project, Cue District, Murchison, WA

The Munarra Gully Project is located some 50km NNE of the town of Cue within the Murchison Goldfields of Western Australia. Rumble owns 80% of E51/1677 and 100% of ELA51/1919 and ELA51/1927 (see Image 10).

At the Amaryllis Prospect, Rumble has defined a large-scale gold-copper-silver system over 2.3km’s in strike that remains open under shallow cover (10 to 40 metres) coincident with a major north-south trending shear zone. This 2,300m of strike has only been partly tested by Rumble on wide spaced traverses. Recent regional reconnaissance exploration which involved mapping and relogging all available historic drill-holes has inferred the highly mineralised regionally extensive Amaryllis Shear zone extends over 15km to the north under cover. This priority target remains to be drill tested.

The style of mineralisation has very similar characteristics to the Chibougamau Au-Cu-Ag shear vein style deposits located in the eastern part of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt in Quebec, Canada. Of note: Chibougamau Au-Cu-Ag shear vein style deposits have produced 3.5 million oz (gold) and 1 million copper metal tonnes at an average weighted grade of 1.76% Cu and 2.05 g/t Au. Some of the deposits at Chibougamau have been mined down to 1.1km in depth.

Thunderbolt Project (100% RTR)

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Thunderbolt Project lies south of and contiguous to the Thunderstorm JV Project. An airborne magnetic survey completed by Rumble has interpreted the significant gold mineralising structures that host mineralisation within the Thunderstorm Project, potentially extend into the Thunderbolt Project.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED)

This report details the nature and amount of remuneration for each director of Rumble Resources Ltd and for the executives receiving the highest remuneration.

1. Employment Agreements

Mr Shane Sikora currently works for the Company in an executive capacity as the Managing Director. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr Sikora’s annual salary is $300,000 plus superannuation and the notice period is 3 months for either party. The contract is an ongoing contract until terminated in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement.

Appointments of non-executive directors Matthew Banks and Michael Smith are formalised in the form of service agreements between themselves and the Company. Their engagements have no fixed term but cease on their resignation or removal as a director in accordance with the Corporations Act. All non-executive directors are now entitled to receive a director’s fee of $60,000 plus statutory superannuation per annum.

Mr Brett Keillor provides services as Technical Director of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr Keillor’s annual salary is to be $ 16 0,000 plus superannuation and is based on two days per week, and the notice period is one month by either party. The contract is an ongoing contract until terminated in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement.

The above listed employment agreements were reviewed during the financial year ended 30 June 2021 with revised remuneration effective May 2021. The evaluation of performance and review of the remuneration structures was performed in accordance with the Company’s approved corporate governance policies.

2. Remuneration Policy

The Company’s remuneration policy has been designed to align director and executive objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a fixed remuneration component, a potential short-term discretionary bonus and offering specific long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company’s financial results. The board believes the remuneration policy to be appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain the best executives and directors to run and manage the Company, as well as create goal congruence between directors, executives and shareholders.

The board’s policy for determining the nature and amount of remuneration for board members and senior executives of the Company is as follows:

  • The remuneration policy, setting the terms and conditions for the executive directors and other senior executives, was developed by the board.

  • All executives receive a base salary (which is based on factors such as length of service and experience), superannuation and are entitled to the issue of share options and an annual discretionary bonus. The Board reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.

The performance of executives is measured against criteria agreed annually with each executive and is based predominantly on the forecast growth of the Company’s shareholders’ value. The board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options, and can recommend changes to the Board’s recommendations. Any changes must be justified by reference to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract the highest calibre of executives and reward them for performance that results in long-term growth in shareholder wealth.

Executives are also entitled to participate in the employee share and option arrangements.

The executive directors receive a superannuation guarantee contribution required by the government, which is currently 9.5%, and do not receive any other retirement benefits.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

All remuneration paid to directors and executives is valued at the cost to the Company and expensed, or capitalised to exploration expenditure if appropriate. Options, if given to directors and executives in lieu of remuneration, are valued using the Black-Scholes methodology. The board’s policy is to remunerate non-executive directors at market rates for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Board determines payments to the non-executive directors and reviews their remuneration annually, based on market practice, duties and accountability. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. Fees for nonexecutive directors are not linked to the performance of the Company. However, to align directors’ interests with shareholder interests, the directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are able to participate in the employee share option plan.

3. Options issued as part of remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2021

Unlisted incentive options were issued to Directors Shane Sikora and Brett Keillor during the previous year, with the current financial year vesting expense disclosed in the remuneration table below.

No other options were granted to Key Management Personnel as part of their remuneration during the year.

4. Voting and comments made at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting

In respect of the Annual General Meeting held on 26 November 2020, the Company received more than 99.93% of “for” votes on its remuneration report for the 2020 financial year.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS, PROSPECTS AND BUSINESS STRATEGIES

Further information, other than as disclosed this report, about likely developments in the operations of the Company and the expected results of those operations in future periods has not been included in this report as disclosure of this information would be likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the Company.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

The Company’s operations are subject to significant environmental regulation under the law of the Commonwealth and State in relation to discharge of hazardous waste and materials arising from any mining activities and development conducted by the Company on any of its tenements. To date the Company has only carried out exploration activities and there have been no known breaches of any environmental obligations.

The directors have considered the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the Company for the current, nor subsequent financial period.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These financial statements and notes represent those of Rumble Resources Limited and controlled entities (the “Company”). Rumble Resources is a listed public Company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 29 of September 2021 by the directors of the Company.

Basis of Preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001 .

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below. They have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs modified by the revaluation of selected financial assets for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied. The financial report is presented in Australian dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

Comparatives

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.

Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report.

a) Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets, liabilities and results of entities controlled by Rumble Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Rumble Resources Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are considered.

Where controlled entities have entered (left) the Consolidated Entity during the year, their operating results have been included (excluded) from the date control was obtained (ceased). A list of controlled entities is contained in Note 17 to the financial statements.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the Consolidated Entity, including any unrealised profits or losses, have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

b) Impairment of Assets

At the end of each reporting date, the Company assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of pre-acquisition profits. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

c) Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

The directors evaluate estimates and judgments incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the Company.

d) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where right of tenure of the area of interest is current. These costs are carried forward in respect of an area that has not at balance date reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves, refer to the accounting policy stated in note 7.

e) Share based payment transactions

The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the assumptions detailed in note 11. Incentive options issued in the prior period utilised the Monte Carlo model.

For equity transactions with consultants and other employees, the fair value reflects the value attributable to services where applicable. Where there is no quantifiable value of services the value of options is calculated using an appropriate option pricing model.

f) New, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending 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 Company during the financial year.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

g) Financial Instruments

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial instruments, incorporating financial assets and financial liabilities, are recognised when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial instruments are initially measured at fair value plus transactions costs where the instrument is not classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs related to instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss are expensed to profit or loss immediately. Financial instruments are classified and measured as set out below.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Classification and subsequent measurement

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the assets or liability, assuming the market participants acts in their economic best interests.

The consolidated entity does not designate any interests in subsidiaries, associates or joint venture entities as being subject to the requirements of accounting standards specifically applicable to financial instruments.

(i) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Loans and receivables are included in current assets, except for those which are not expected to mature within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. (All other loans and receivables are classified as noncurrent assets.)

  • (ii) Financial liabilities

Non-derivative financial liabilities (excluding financial guarantees) are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains or losses are recognised in profit and loss through the amortisation process and when the financial liability is derecognised.

Derivative instruments

The consolidated entity does not trade or hold derivatives.

Financial guarantees

The consolidated entity has no material financial guarantees.

h) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

A distinction is made between finance leases, which effectively transfer from the lessor to the lessee substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of leased assets, and operating leases, under which the lessor effectively retains substantially all such risks and benefits.

Finance leases are capitalised. A lease asset and liability are established at the fair value of the leased asset, or if lower, the present value of minimum lease payments. Lease payments are allocated between the principal component of the lease liability and the finance costs, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

Leased assets acquired under a finance lease are depreciated over the asset's useful life or over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term if there is no reasonable certainty that the consolidated entity will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term.

If there is a lease present, a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability are recognised by the consolidated entity where the consolidated entity is a lessee. However, all contracts that are classified as shortterm leases (i.e., a lease with a remaining lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low-value assets are recognised as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Initially the lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments still to be paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the consolidated entity uses the incremental borrowing rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are as follows:

  • fixed lease payments less any lease incentives;

  • variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;

  • the amount expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • the exercise price of purchase options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options;

  • lease payments under extension options, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise the options; and

  • o payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the exercise of an option to terminate the lease.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date and any initial direct costs. The subsequent measurement of the right-of-use assets is at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Operating lease payments, if they are short term leases or less than AUD$5,000, are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

NOTE 3: INCOME TAX EXPENSE

The income tax expense (benefit) for the year comprises current income tax expense (benefit) and deferred tax expense (benefit). Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority. Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well unused tax losses. Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Potential deferred tax assets attributable to tax losses and exploration expenditure carried forward have not been brought to account at 30 June 2021 because the directors do not believe it is appropriate to regard realisation of the deferred tax assets as probable at this point in time. These benefits will only be obtained if:

  • the Company derives future assessable income of a nature and of an amount sufficient to enable the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure to be realised;

  • no changes in tax legislation adversely affect the Company in realising the benefit from the deductions for the loss and exploration expenditure.

Exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred is accumulated in respect of each identifiable area of interest. These costs are only carried forward to the extent that they are expected to be recouped through the successful development of the area or where activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Accumulated costs in relation to an abandoned area are written off in full against profit in the period in which the decision to abandon the area is made.

When production commences, the accumulated costs for the relevant area of interest are amortised over the life of the area according to the rate of depletion of the economically recoverable reserves.

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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Costs of site restoration are provided over the life of the facility from when exploration commences and are included in the costs of that stage. Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal, and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with clauses of the mining permits. Such costs have been determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology on an undiscounted basis.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs are accounted on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration, there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. Accordingly, the costs have been determined on the basis that the restoration will be completed within one period of abandoning the site.

(1) During the year and following a review of the project portfolio, a decision was made to abandon a number of tenements. As a result, all exploration capitalised to those tenements, at reporting date, has been written off.

The value of the Company’s interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

  • the continuance of the Company’s rights to tenure of the areas of interest;

  • the results of future exploration; and

  • the recoupment of costs through successful development and exploitation of the areas of interest, or alternatively, by their sale.

The Company’s exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under native title, or contain sacred sites, or sites of significance to Aboriginal people. As a result, exploration properties or areas within the tenements may be subject to exploration restrictions, mining restrictions and/or claims for compensation. At this time, it is not possible to quantify whether such claims exist, or the quantum of such claims.

Terms and conditions of issued capital

Ordinary shares participate in dividends and the proceeds on winding up of the Company in proportion to the number of shares held. At the shareholders’ meetings each ordinary share is entitled to one vote when a poll is called, otherwise each shareholder has one vote on a show of hands.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern, so that it may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Due to the nature of the Company’s activities, being mineral exploration, it does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Accordingly, the objective of the Company’s capital risk management is to balance the current working capital position against the requirements of the Company to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. This is achieved by maintaining appropriate liquidity to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required.

The net working capital position of the Company at 30 June 2021 is $38,895,869 (2020: $5,866,935) and the net increase in cash held during the year was $33,475,559 (2020: increase of $4,356,916).

Note 9(b): Other Equity

Other Equity represents the fixed number of shares to be issued as capital funds received from the directors' participation in the placement, being 2,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.50 per share to raise $1,000,000. The Company also issued 1,033,349 fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of 1,033,349 unlisted options with a $0.15 exercise price to raise $155,002. These transactions are disclosed in note 18 and the shares have been issued on 14 July 2021.

During the prior year, the Company issued 2,000,000 unlisted incentive options to key members of the exploration team. The option issue was completed to incentivise exploration success aligning the exploration team with value creation for shareholders.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Equity-settled compensation

The Company operates equity-settled share-based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account. The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using an appropriate option pricing model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting date such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

NOTE 16: LEASE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES

During the year the Group entered into a lease agreement for office premises. At the commencement date of a lease (other than leases of 12 months or less and lease of low value assets), the Group recognises a lease asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. The lease liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using an arm’s length borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities on was 6.57%.

The Group leases office premise for periods not exceeding 5 years. The arrangements do not include variable lease payments or residual guarantees. Where the lease includes the option to renew, this has been factored into the lease calculation. The Group is required to return the underlying assets in a specified condition at the end of the lease term.

NOTE 18: EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

The following events occurred subsequent to year end:

Rumble Secures 100% of Braeside Project

On 12 July 2021, the Company announced it had consolidated the entire Braeside Project, securing 100% of tenements E45/4368 and E45/2032, located in the east Pilbara region of Western Australia. The Braeside Project is now 100% held by the Company and is comprised of 4 granted exploration licenses (E45/2032, E45/4368, E45/4873 and E45/4874).

Rumble has secured the remaining 30% of E45/2032 (having previously held 70%) from Maverick Exploration Pty Ltd, an unrelated vendor, in return for the issue of 1,800,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company free of all encumbrances.

Rumble has secured the remaining 30% of E45/4368 (having previously held 70%) from Great Sandy Pty Ltd, an unrelated vendor, in return for the issue of 500,000 new fully paid ordinary shares in the Company free of all encumbrances.

Appointment of Non-Executive Director and Senior Management

On 14 July 2021, the Company was pleased to announce the appointment of highly experience mining executive, Mr Peter Venn, as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, and the appointment of Mr Ben Jones and Mr Luke Timmermans to the Senior Geological Management team.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Issue of Securities

On 14 July 2021, following shareholder approval obtained at the general meeting held on 17 June 2021, the Company advised it had completed the Director participation in the placement previously announced on 28 April 2021, being 2,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.50 per share to raise $1,000,000. The Company also issued 1,033,349 fully paid ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of 1,033,349 unlisted options with a $0.15 exercise price to raise $155,002.35.

Western Queen Project Resource Update

On 2 August 2021, the Company announced that it had completed the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) on two mining leases M59/45 and M59/208 at the 100% owned Western Queen Gold Project in Western Australia. The updated MRE produced a 35% increase in the total resource from the previous estimate and a 145% increase in the total Indicated Resources. The combined Indicated and Inferred Resource is 2.1Mt grading 2.42 g/t Au for a total of 163,268 ounces.

NOTE 19: COMMITMENTS

Exploration expenditure commitments

In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Company is required to perform minimum exploration work to meet the minimum expenditure requirements specified by the relevant authorities. These obligations are subject to renegotiation when application for a mining lease is made and at other times. These obligations are not provided for in the financial report. The actual expenditures to date on tenements have exceeded the minimum expenditure requirements specified by the relevant authorities during the current tenement grant periods.

If the Company decides to relinquish certain leases and/or does not meet these obligations, assets recognised in the Statement of Financial Position may require review to determine the appropriateness of carrying values. The sale, transfer or farm-out of exploration rights to third parties will reduce or extinguish these obligations. The ultimate recoupment of costs carried forward for exploration and evaluation is dependent on the successful development and commercial exploitation or sale of the respective mining areas.

The above exploration commitments include the Barramine Project (E45/4368) which is subject to a Farm-in agreement under which the Company has a right to earn an initial 70% interest in the project. Refer to below section for details on Farm-In and Joint Venture Commitments.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 21: OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Company has one operating segment being mining exploration in Australia.

NOTE 22: FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of deposits with banks, accounts receivable, investments in listed shares and accounts payable.

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the oversight and management of the Company’s exposure to a variety of financial risks (including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk).

Credit risk

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance 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 Company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions is spread amongst approved counterparties.

Credit risk related to balances with banks and other financial institutions is managed by the board. The board’s policy requires that surplus funds are only invested with counterparties with a Standard & Poor’s rating of at least AA-. All of the Company’s surplus funds are invested with AA Rated financial institutions.

The credit risk for counterparties included in cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2021 is detailed below:

2021 2020
$ $
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents
- AA rated counterparties 39,663,807 6,188,248

The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single receivable or Company of receivables under financial instruments entered into by the Company.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

The responsibility with liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows and ensuring that adequate working capital is maintained. The Company’s policy is to ensure that it has sufficient cash reserves to carry out its planned exploration activities over the next 12 months.

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as it invests funds at floating interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

At 30 June 2021, the effect on loss and equity as a result of a 2% increase in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be a decrease in loss by $150 (2020: $150) and an increase in equity by $150 (2020: $150). The effect on loss and equity as a result of a 2% decrease in the interest rate, with all other variables remaining constant would be an increase in loss by $150 (2020: $150) and a decrease in equity by $150 (2020: $150).

Fair value of financial instruments

The Directors consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the financial statements approximates their fair value.

Financial instruments measured at fair value

The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:

  • Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1);

  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and

  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RUMBLE RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Rumble Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the Consolidated Entity”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, 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 a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion:

  • a. the accompanying financial report of the Consolidated Entity 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 2021 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and

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

  • b. the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the 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 (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

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

Key Audit Matters

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

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit
Matter
Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure
As disclosed in note 7 to the financial statements,
as at 30 June 2021, the Consolidated Entity’s
capitalised
exploration
and
evaluation
expenditure was carried at $16,249,825.
The recognition and recoverability of the
exploration and evaluation expenditure was
considered a key audit matter due to:

The
carrying
value
represents
a
significant asset of the Consolidated
Entity, we considered it necessary to
assess whether facts and circumstances
existed to suggest the carrying amount of
this asset may exceed the recoverable
amount; and

Determining
whether
impairment
indicators
exist
involves
significant
judgement.
Our audit procedures included but were not
limited to:

Assessing management’s determination
of its areas of interest for consistency
with the definition in AASB 6_Exploration_
and Evaluation of Mineral Resources
(“AASB 6”);

Assessing the Consolidated Entity’s
rights to tenure for a sample of
tenements;

Testing
the
Consolidated
Entity’s
additions to capitalised exploration costs
for the year by evaluating a sample of
recorded expenditure for consistency to
underlying records, the capitalisation
requirements
of
the
Consolidated
Entity’s accounting policy and the
requirements of AASB 6;

Testing the status of the Consolidated
Entity’s tenure and planned future
activities, reading board minutes and
enquiries
with
management
we
assessed each area of interest for one or
more of the following circumstances that
may
indicate
impairment
of
the
capitalised exploration costs:
o
The licenses for the rights to
explore expiring in the near
future or are not expected to be
renewed;
o
Substantive
expenditure
for
further exploration in the area of
interest is not budgeted or
planned;

==> picture [593 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [453 x 310] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

Key Audit Matter How our audit addressed the Key Audit
Matter
o Decision or intent by the
Consolidated Entity to
discontinue activities in the
specific area of interest due to
lack of commercially viable
quantities of resources; and
o Data indicating that, although a
development in the specific area
is likely to proceed, the carrying
amount of the exploration asset
is unlikely to be recorded in full
from successful development or
sale; and
o We also assessed the
appropriateness of the related
disclosures in note 7 to the
financial statements.
----- End of picture text -----

Other Information

The directors 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 2021, 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Consolidated Entity are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In Note 1, the directors also state in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements , that the financial report complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

==> picture [593 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

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 has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the 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.

==> picture [593 x 63] intentionally omitted <==

  • 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 financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Consolidated Entity audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

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

We have audited the Remuneration Report included in the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2021. The directors of the Consolidated Entity are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the remuneration report in accordance with s 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.

Auditor’s Opinion

In our opinion, the Remuneration Report of Rumble Resources Limited, for the year ended 30 June 2021, complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.

5. Resources

On 2 August 2021 the Company announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Western Queen Project produced a 35% increase in the total resource from the previous estimate. The combined Indicated and Inferred Resource is 2.1Mt @ 2.42g/t Au for a total of 163,268 ounces. The total Indicated Resources now stand at 1.1Mt @ 1.95g/t Au for a total of 67,145 ounces, which represents a 145% increase over the previous estimate. The combined open cut and underground resource for the Western Queen project is presented in the below table.

Footnote: The pit optimisation has shown that much of the resource has the potential to be mined economically, and further mining studies are warranted to further progress the project. Mineral Resources that are not Ore Reserves have not demonstrated economic viability at this point. The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues. Mining Method refers to either open cut (OC) or Underground (UG).
