REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
Rumble had a transformational half-year ending 31 December 2020 executing the Board's clear strategy of drill testing a pipeline of projects capable of world-class discoveries culminating in the highly anticipated drilling being completed at the Western Queen Au, Munarra Gully Cu-Au-Ag, Lamil Au-Cu and Braeside Cu-Au-Zn-Pb-Ag Projects, all located in Tier 1 regions of Western Australia for a combined 40,000m of drilling.
During the period JV Partner IGO completed reconnaissance AC drilling on the Thunderstorm Au JV Project located in the Fraser Range intersecting a new high-grade Au intersection of 16m @ 6.69 g/t Au from 42m which lies 50m southeast of the initial discovery hole intersecting 6m @ 9.15 g/t Au from 48m. The AC drilling was completed over the entire Thunderstorm Project area on a 1.5km by 400m pattern intersecting significant widespread AU throughout the project highlighting the potential for multiple Au deposits.
The group also exercised the option to acquire 100% of the Western Queen Au Project and secured further tenements at the Project increasing the total landholding by over 500%.

NOTE 1: STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These financial statements and notes represent those of Rumble Resources Limited and controlled entities (the "Group"). Rumble is a listed public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia.
Basis of Preparation
These interim financial statements constitute a general purpose financial report and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting. Compliance with AASB134 ensures compliance with IAS134: Interim Financial Reports. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2020.
These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 15 March 2021.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain non-current assets and financial instruments. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.
All monetary values are reported in Australian Dollar unless otherwise stated.
a) Adoption of new and revised accounting standards
The accounting policies adopted in the current year are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group's 2019 Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2020 except for the impact of the new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB').
New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective
There are a number of standards, amendments to standards, and interpretations which have been issued by the IASB that are effective in future accounting periods that the group has decided not to adopt early.
The following amendments are effective for the period beginning 1 January 2022:
- Onerous Contracts Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37);
- Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16);
- Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020 (Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41); and
- References to Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3).
In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, which clarify the criteria used to determine whether liabilities are classified as current or non-current. These amendments clarify that current or non-current classification is based on whether an entity has a right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The amendments also clarify that 'settlement' includes the transfer of cash, goods, services, or equity instruments unless the obligation to transfer equity instruments arises from a conversion feature classified as an equity instrument separately from the liability component of a compound financial instrument. The amendments were originally effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. However, in May 2020, the effective date was deferred to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
The Group is currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards and amendments and does not believe that the amendments to IAS 1 will have a significant impact on the classification of its liabilities.
Other
The Group does not expect any other standards issued by the IASB, but not yet effective, to have a material impact on the group.
• IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (effective 1 January 2023) - In June 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 17, including a deferral of its effective date to 1 January 2023.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

NOTE 9: OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Group 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 Group has one operating segment being mining exploration in Australia.
NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS
Exploration expenditure commitments
In order to maintain current rights of tenure to exploration tenements, the Group is required 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.

| Longer than 5 years | 809,239 | 870,801 |
| 3,805,744 | 2,658,129 |
If the Group 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.

Independent Auditor's Review Report
To the Members of Rumble Resources Limited
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Rumble Resources Limited ("the Company") and Controlled Entities ("the Consolidated Entity") which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies and other selected explanatory notes, and the directors' declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Rumble Resources Limited and Controlled Entities does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
- a. Giving a true and fair view of Rumble Resources Limited financial position as at 31 December 2020 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
- b. Complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting and 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. 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 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.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.


Independent Auditor's Review Report

To the Members of Rumble Resources Limited (Continued)
Responsibility of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of Rumble Resources Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and 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 we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year 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 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations 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.
