Review of operations
Andover West | Nickel-Copper (80% interest)
The Andover West Project is located 30km south-east of Karratha and is targeting mafic intrusions hosting nickel-copper mineralisation. There are 3 high priority VTEM/FLEM shallow conductor anomalies within the project tenement which are only 2.8km from Azure’s Andover Ni-Cu discovery where Azure Minerals announced a maiden resource of 4.6Mt @ 1.11%Ni, 0.47% Cu and 0.05% Co (ASX Announcement Azure 30 March 2022) and only ~1.5km from Azure’s Ridgeline prospect for which Azure recently reported a maiden resource of 1.3mt @ 1.11% Ni, 0.46% Cu and 0.05% Co (ASX Announcement Azure 13 February 2023). There are also additional geophysical targets identified and recommended for field investigation within the tenement.
Errawarra received approval from shareholders to complete the Andover West transaction with Western Exploration Pty Ltd at a General Meeting held 22 April 2022 and subsequently announced finalisation of the acquisition on 2 May 2022. This was achieved by acquiring 80% interest in private company Western Exploration Pty Ltd the holder of tenement application E47/4352 which comprises the project.
The execution of a Heritage and Access Agreement was completed with the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation on 1 August 2022 and the Deed to Grant a Mining Lease was submitted to DMIRS with the subsequent grant of the tenement completed on 1 September 2022. Both ethnographic and archaeological heritage clearance surveys were completed during November 2022 with final reports received in January 2023.
This was followed by the commencement of the maiden drill program which comprises the diamond core drilling of these 3 discrete conductor targets and to be followed by downhole electromagnetic ( DHEM ) surveys to determine the positioning of a potential followup phase of drilling. This drill and DHEM program is expected to be completed during February.
Errabiddy | Gold & Nickel-Copper (80-100% interest)
The Errabiddy project is located 200km north-west of Meekatharra, Western Australia on the north-eastern margin of the Yilgarn craton. Errawarra’s package includes rock units prospective for intrusion hosted nickel-copper mineralisation and orogenic gold, and is in a region that is experiencing considerable exploration activity The project tenements cover an area of 1,066km[2] and comprises eight granted tenements four of which are contiguous, and which are focused on and in proximity to the Errabiddy Shear Zone located within the northwest margin of the Yilgarn. The north-western margin of the Yilgarn Craton (Narryer Terrane) hosts several known maficultramafic intrusive bodies that were emplaced into the deforming northwest Yilgarn Craton margin and appear to consist of an earlier set of layered mafic complexes and later discrete ultramafic plugs. Both intrusion types have Ni- Cu-Co-PGE potential with similarities to the Jinchuan deposit in China, the Voisey’s Bay deposit in Canada and the Nova-Bollinger, Julimar, Milly Milly and Byro prospects in Western Australia. Because of this geological setting the area has not only been targeted by Errawarra but also by numerous other resource companies including Chalice Mines Ltd (owners of the Julimar nickel-copper-PGE discovery).
Although the area is highly competitive for nickel and gold exploration more recently there has been an emerging focus on REE exploration with significant exploration results reported by both Desert Metals and Krakatoa Resources both of which are in proximity to the Errabiddy Project. Due to these discoveries Errawarra had an independent review undertaken on the REE potential of the tenement package based on publicly available information. The report highlighted potential exploration target areas across the range of tenements but highlighted by E09/2459 where the review has identified multiple priority target areas. These target areas were based on the interpretation of spectral signatures and other factors following a review of remote sensing hyperspectral datasets. In addition, a review of the GSWA soil sampling dataset reveals several anomalous TREO samples within the project tenements that warrant followup investigation.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Binti Binti | Gold (80% interest)
Errawarra holds interests in three tenements in the Edjudina Region of Western Australia. The Binti Binti gold project is located, 70km north-east of Kalgoorlie and covers an area of approximately 116km[2] within the Kanowna Mineral Field. The gold prospectivity is considered high given the proximity to the historical Gindalbie/Binti Binti Goldfield and associated workings which are developed on steeply west dipping quartz veins within an interpreted north-northwest trending shear zone.
Two programs of reconnaissance aircore drilling comprising 10,027m for 261 holes were completed on the project tenements during 2021. The first drill program was within tenement E27/603 and targeted a gold in soil anomaly which proved to be restricted to the regoilth. The second drill program focused on adjoining tenement E27/577 which is host to prospecting pits and old workings. Two adjacent drill holes intersected steeply inclined high grade ([email protected]/t) quartz veins beneath a prospecting pit (grab samples reported 227g/t and 1.2 g/t Au in two separate samples). These results indicated that the gold related to a bedrock gold system (rather than a surface upgrading) and may persist at depth.
The spatial association of the gold workings and the western limb of an anticlinal structure has provided a potential targeting model for the area.
Fraser Range | Nickel-Copper (70% interest)
The Fraser Range project located approximately 30km south-west of the operating Nova nickel-copper-cobalt mine owned by IGO Ltd is considered prospective for Nova style Ni-Cu-Co magmatic sulphide mineralisation.
The initial exploration has focused on testing priority areas with Moving Loop Electromagnetic surveys ( MLEM ) based on gravity anomalies, magnetic anomalies, geochemical anomalies, and favourable geological units for hosting sulphide mineralisation.
Approximately 70% of the project area has been surveyed by MLEM with no conductors indicative of massive sulphide mineralisation being identified. However, several weak anomalous responses have been observed at early to mid-delay times. some of which are in proximity to anomalous (nickel-copper) that has reported to wide spaced historic reconnaissance soil samples. A detailed review of all of the acquired data has been completed and a program to investigate these weak anomalous responses has been recommended, including drill testing when appropriate. In addition, FLEM surveys remain under consideration for those areas where MLEM could not be completed due to the nature of the terrain.
Corporate
Errawarra held its Annual General Meeting on 29 November 2022 with all resolutions carried by poll. The majority of proxy votes cast were in favour of resolutions. The Annual Report 2022 was lodged with the ASIC in accordance with required timeframes.

ERRAWARRA RESOURCES LTD
CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the half-year ended 31 December 2022
1. Reporting Entity
Errawarra Resources Ltd ( Errawarra or the Company ) is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia, and whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange. The consolidated half-year financial report of the Group as at and for the six months ended 31 December 2022 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the Group ).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian Dollars, which is the Group’s functional and presentation currency.
The financial report of Errawarra for the half-year ended 31 December 2022 was authorised for issue by the Directors on 7 March 2023.
The nature of the operations and principal activities of the Group are described in the Directors’ Report.
The consolidated annual financial report of the Group as at and for the year ended 30 June 2022 is available upon request from the Company’s registered office or at www.errawarra.com.
2. Basis of preparation and changes to the accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
This general purpose condensed financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2022 has been prepared in accordance with AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
The half-year financial report does not include all notes of the type normally included within the annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of the Group as the full financial report. It is recommended that the half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2022 and considered together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year ended 31 December 2022 in accordance with the continuous disclosure obligations of the ASX Listing Rules.
The half-year financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial assets which are measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Apart from the changes in accounting policy in note 2(b), the accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the most recent annual financial report.
(b) Changes in accounting policies
New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022, other than the adoption of additional accounting policies set out below:
Right of use assets
A right-of-use asset is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, adjusted for, as applicable, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date net of any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred, and an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the asset.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term.
The lease liability is measured at the present value of the lease payments discounted at the Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments, and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date.
The consolidated entity has elected not to recognise a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for short-term leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. Lease payments on these assets are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the half-year ended 31 December 2022
2. Basis of preparation and changes to the accounting policies
(b) Changes in accounting policies (cont’d)
Lease term
The lease term is a significant component in the measurement of both the right-of-use asset and lease liability. Judgement is exercised in determining whether there is reasonable certainty that an option to extend the lease or purchase the underlying asset will be exercised, or an option to terminate the lease will not be exercised, when ascertaining the periods to be included in the lease term. In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economical incentive to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option, are considered at the lease commencement date. Factors considered may include the importance of the asset to the consolidated entity's operations; comparison of terms and conditions to prevailing market rates; incurrence of significant penalties; existence of significant leasehold improvements; and the costs and disruption to replace the asset. The consolidated entity reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option, if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances.
All other new standards and interpretations effective from 1 July 2022 were adopted with the main impact being disclosure changes. The adoption of the new or amended standards and interpretations did not result in any significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
