DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [128 x 70] intentionally omitted <==
Summary of Operations
WA1’s objective is to discover a tier 1 mineral deposit in Western Australia’s underexplored regions and create value for all stakeholders. We believe we can have a positive impact on the remote communities within the lands on which we operate. We will execute our exploration using a proven leadership team which has a successful track record of exploring in WA’s remote regions.
The Company currently has three exploration projects in Western Australia, being the West Arunta, Madura and Hidden Valley projects.
==> picture [290 x 398] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1: Location of WA1’s Exploration Projects
West Arunta Project
The West Arunta Project is located approximately 490km south of Halls Creek in WA. It comprises the Pachpadra, Sambhar and Urmia prospects, which are contained within a granted Exploration Licence.
During the period, the Company completed a heli-supported ground-based gravity survey over previously unsurveyed portions of the Urmia and Sambhar prospects.
Prior to WA1 acquiring the West Arunta Project in 2021, the tenement had limited historical exploration for gold and copper largely in the form of reconnaissance airborne geophysics, limited ground geophysical surveys, and surface sampling. Drilling on the West Arunta Project tenement is limited to a single historic diamond hole drilled in 2010. The West Arunta region has experienced limited exploration since 2010 until recently when two key events provided significant validation for the area’s iron-oxide copper-gold ( IOCG ) exploration potential.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [128 x 70] intentionally omitted <==
In late 2020, Encounter Resources Limited drilled a single diamond hole proximate to WA1’s West Arunta Project which successfully intersected hydrothermally altered mafic intrusions with a distinctive IOCG geochemical signature and altered potassic granite (refer to Encounter Resources Limited’s ASX announcement on 11 February 2021 for further details).
In early 2021, Rio Tinto Exploration applied for significant tenement landholdings in the West Arunta and entered into a staged A$58.5 million farm-in and joint venture agreement in five tenements held by Tali Resources Pty Ltd. These tenements abut WA1’s West Arunta Project (refer to Agrimin Limited’s ASX announcement on 12 March 2021 for further details).
Madura Project
The Madura Project tenements are located approximately 540km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, with non-contiguous tenements extending to near the Western Australian south coast. The exploration project consists of two granted Exploration Licences and five Exploration Licence applications in the Madura Province of south-eastern Western Australia.
Prior to applying for the tenements in 2021, the tenements had historic exploration in the form of airborne geophysical surveys and a regional stratigraphic hole by the Geological Survey of Western Australia. Much of this work was concentrated around the northern most tenement, where indicators for Cu-Au source and host rocks is documented.
There is potential for gold-copper mineralisation of an IOCG affinity, and this is the basis for the proposed exploration program within the exploration project area.
The Company is currently in the process of entering into a heritage protection agreement with Mining Traditional Lands Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC to enable exploration activities to commence within the project area.
Hidden Valley Project
The Hidden Valley Project comprises one Exploration Licence application located 150km south of Kununurra, Western Australia. The tenement is geologically located within the Osmond Ranges, with work completed by previous explorers including geophysical and surface geochemical surveys, geological mapping, and prospecting. While several anomalous indicators for gold and copper have been identified, no drilling has been undertaken.
The exploration project has been explored for multiple commodities, including diamonds, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, PGE’s, Fe and Au, and is considered prospective for sediment hosted massive sulphide (SHMS) Pb-Zn-Ag and magmatic Cu-Ni mineralisation. An initial program of reconnaissance mapping and sampling, exploring for polymetallic mineralisation of various styles, is proposed.
The Company is currently in the process of entering into a Native Title Heritage Protection and Mineral Exploration Agreement with Kimberley Land Council Aboriginal Corporation to enable exploration activities to commence within the project area.
Community & Safety
WA1’s activities are located within several native title determination and claim areas. The Company values its relationship with the traditional owners of the lands on which it operates and is committed to maintaining these positive partnerships. We believe we can have a positive impact on the remote communities within the lands on which we operate.
During the half year, the Company has progressed native title consultations with respect to obtaining heritage protection agreements for the Madura and Hidden Valley projects.
The Company is committed to ensuring all work activities are carried out safely with all practical measures taken to remove risks to the health, safety and welfare of workers, contractors, authorised visitors and anyone else who may be affected by the Company’s activities. The Company is pleased to report that no recordable injuries have been reported during the half year.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation in March 2020. The outbreak and the response of Governments in dealing with the pandemic has not had a significant impact on the operations of the Company. The main impacts have related to the postponement of native title meetings.

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 Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 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.
