About Aura Energy (ASX:AEE, AIM:AURA)

Aura Energy is an Australian-based minerals company that has major uranium and polymetallic projects with large resources in Africa and Europe. The Company is now focused on uranium production from the Tiris Project, a major greenfield uranium discovery in Mauritania.

A recent Enhanced Feasibility Study has increased the project NPV significantly which reconfirms Tiris as one of the lowest capex, lowest operating cost uranium projects that remain undeveloped in the world.

In October 2021, the Company entered a US$10m Offtake Financing Agreement with Curzon, which includes an additional up to US$10m facility, bringing the maximum available under the agreement to US$20m.

In 2023, Aura will continue to transition from a uranium explorer to a uranium producer, to capitalise on the rapidly growing demand for nuclear power as the world continues to shift towards a decarbonised energy sector.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The Group's consolidated net loss for the year ended 30 June 2023 after providing for income tax amounted to $6,795,514 (2022: $3,403,791).

The loss for the period is primarily driven by:

• General and administration expenses of $2,808,555 (2022: $1,470,842);

• Employee beneﬁts expenses of $913,929 (2022: $505,389);

• Share-based payments of $2,472,578 (2022: $1,187,254), oﬀset by

• Interest income of $62,892 (2022: $1,676)

Included in the result for the ﬁnancial year is a loss from disposal group of $674,420 (2022: $275,696).

Cash and cash equivalents at 30 June 2023 was $11,238,716 (2022: $9,950,777). Capitalised exploration and evaluation assets was $27,248,300 (2022: $22,323,176).

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS

Management of the business and the execution of the Board's strategy are subject to a number of key risks and uncertainties, our approach to managing these is detailed below:

Health and safety

Exploration and mining include safety risks from both internal and external factors and require necessary precautions to be put in place to minimise adverse outcomes. The most prominent risk, due to the geological spread of exploration activities,

is associated with the transportation of personnel to and from project sites, particularly the risk of road injuries and fatalities. The Company has in place an OH&S policy that is required to be adhered to at all times by its employees and contractors and will implement additional policies and protocols as activity ramps up, including transportation standards policies, vehicle safety checks and establishing emergency response protocols.

Exploration and Development Risks

Mineral exploration and development activities are inherently risky. There is a risk that the feasibility study and associated technical work may not achieve the expected results and that a failure to develop and operate projects in accordance with expectations could negatively impact results of operations and the company's ﬁnancial position. Risks to the Company's development projects include the ability to acquire and/or obtain appropriate access to property, regulatory approvals, supply chain risks, construction and commissioning risks.

MATERIAL BUSINESS RISKS (CONTINUED)

Aura is continuing the FEED (Front End Engineering Design) studies for the Tiris Development Project, including optimisation strategies and incorporating outcomes from the Enhanced Feasibility Study released in the March 2023 Quarter. These studies aim to enhance the recovery of U3O8 within the leaching, ion exchange, and precipitation circuits to optimize the production proﬁle. The FEED work remains on schedule for completion in Q4 2023, with long-lead items already identiﬁed to ensure timely delivery for the Tiris Project's construction.

Community/Social Risk

The Group's operations take place amidst varying cultural practices. The evolving expectations of these communities are managed through active community engagement, development and implementation of community relations strategies based on stakeholder concerns and maintaining strong relationships with communities and delivering on its commitments.

Regulatory and Compliance Risk

The company faces challenges related to new or evolving regulations and standards that are beyond its control. These regulations are often complex and challenging to predict. Opportunities for growth and development may be at risk due to changes to ﬁscal or regulatory frameworks, adverse changes in tax or other law, diﬀerences in sustainability standards and practices, or shifts in existing political, judicial, or administrative policies, as well as evolving community expectations.

Anti-Bribery and Corruption Risk

Aura has a clear policy alongside internal controls and procedures aimed at mitigating risks associated with Anti-Bribery

and Corruption, includes providing training and compliance programs to both employees and contractors. These programs address various risks and associated scenarios, including unauthorised payments or oﬀers of payments involving employees, agents, or distributors, which could potentially violate relevant anti-corruption laws.

Operations in Foreign Jurisdictions

The Company operates in foreign jurisdictions, speciﬁcally in Mauritania and Sweden, where its projects are located. These projects are exposed to various risks, including the potential for unfavourable political and economic changes, ﬂuctuations and controls related to foreign currency, civil unrest, political upheavals, or conﬂicts. Furthermore, unforeseen events can curtail or interrupt operations on these properties, restrict capital movement, or lead to increased taxation. The Company remains proactive and closely monitors the political and economic landscapes of the jurisdictions in which it operates.

Market Risk

The Company is developing mineral projects with the intention to produce commodities for sale across a variety of markets. Forecast of supply and demand dynamics and the pricing that may be received for those products is inherently complex and subject to factors outside of the Company's control. There is a risk that factors outside of the Company's control may negatively aﬀect markets. These factors could include geopolitical events, over supply or reduced demand. The Company mitigates this risk through eﬀorts to engage oﬀtake contracts to ensure consistency in pricing and through diversiﬁcation of products.

Funding Risk

The Company will require additional funding to bring the Tiris Uranium Project into production and advance the Häggån Polymetallic Project. There is a risk that funding may not be available on acceptable terms for these projects. The Company seeks to mitigate this risk by diversifying potential funding sources between debt, equity and other options. Additional work to derisk technical, social, environmental and permitting will increase the availability of funding options.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS

In the opinion of the directors there were no signiﬁcant changes in the state of aﬀairs of the Group that occurred during the

year.

EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

Subsequent to the end of the ﬁnancial year, the Company released the Scoping Study for its Häggån Project in Sweden which conﬁrmed the scale and optionality of the Company's Critical Minerals Project in Sweden. Please refer to the announcement dated 5 September 2023 for more details.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2023 that has signiﬁcantly aﬀected the Group's operations, results or state of aﬀairs, or may do so in future years.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

The Group is commencing exploration and evaluation activities in Mauritania and Sweden. Both countries have environmental regulation for the conduct of exploration activities. The Company has complied with these environmental regulations in the conduct of all ﬁeld activities.

The directors have considered the enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the NGER Act) which introduced 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 has no eﬀect on the Company for the current, nor subsequent, ﬁnancial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

Closing net book value

22,323,176

The value of the Group's interest in exploration expenditure is dependent upon:

• The continuance of the Group's right to tenure of the areas of interest;

• The result of future exploration; and

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

their sale.

The Group's exploration properties may be subjected to claim(s) under Native Title (or jurisdictional equivalent), or contain sacred sites, or sites of signiﬁcance to the indigenous people of Sweden and Mauritania.

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.

As of 30 June 2023, the Company was awaiting the granting of the exploitation permit for the Oum Ferkik tenement for the Tiris Project and exploration renewal permits for Hadeibet Bellaa and Touerig Taet tenements, held by TIMCO. The Company has received conﬁrmation from the Ministry of Petroleum, Mines, and Energy (MPME) that the tenements have been registered for renewal and that all fees have been paid in accordance with the regulatory provisions. The renewal permits

are expected to follow normal route and will be issued following the reopening of the Mining Cadastre in Q4 2023.

The consolidated entity has fulﬁlled its exploration obligation relating to the Nderk tenement, thereby earning a 70% equity interest in Nomads Mining sarl. It is currently in the process of completing the necessary documentation to formalise this arrangement. Similar to the tenement status for the Hadeibet Bellaa and Touerig Taet permits, a renewal application for the exploration permit for the Nderk tenement is pending as at 30 June 2023. The Company has received conﬁrmation from the MPME that the Nderk tenement has been registered for renewal and that all fees have been paid in accordance with the regulatory provisions and that the renewal permit will follow normal route and will be issued following the reopening of the Mining Cadastre in Q4 2023.

As of 30 June 2023, the carrying value of the exploration and evaluation assets for the Oum Ferkik tenement was $120,721, and the Tasiast South Gold Project (Hadeibet Bellaa, Touerig Taet and Nderk tenements) was $2,698,059. The Group's Tasiast South Gold Project has been classiﬁed as part of the Group's held for sale assets. Please refer to note 11 for more details.

Leave obligations (i)	87,110	-	87,110	14,947	-	14,947

(i) Leave obligations

The leave obligations cover the Group's liabilities for long service leave and annual leave which are classiﬁed as either other long-term beneﬁts or short-term beneﬁts, as explained in Note 20(i).

The current portion of this liability includes all of the accrued annual leave, the unconditional entitlements to long service leave where employees have completed the required year of service and also for those employees that are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances. The entire amount of the provision of $87,110 (2022: $14,947) is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for any of these obligations. However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

10 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

(A) 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 Group's income or the value of its holdings of ﬁnancial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return.

The board meets on a regular basis and considers the Group's exposure currency and interest rate risk.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group has exposure to foreign currency risk in relation to US dollars for assets the Group holds in Mauritania.

The following table illustrates sensitivities to the Group's exposures to changes in the AUD/USD exchange rate. The table indicates the impact on how proﬁt and equity values reported at balance date would have been aﬀected by changes in the relevant risk variable that management considers to be reasonably possible. These sensitivities assume that the movement in a particular variable is independent of other variables.

The table below sets out the ﬁnancial impact of the strengthening or weakening of the Australian dollar against the US dollar on a proﬁt after tax and equity basis as at the end of the ﬁnancial year, with all other variables constant.

Exposure

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting year, expressed in Australian dollar, was as follows:

Sensitivity

The Group has conducted a sensitivity analysis of its exposure to foreign currency risk. The Group is currently materially exposed to the United States dollar (USD) and the Pound Sterling (GBP). The sensitivity analysis is conducted on a currency-by-currency basis using the sensitivity analysis variable, which has been set as 10% change in the respective exchange rates for the year ended 30 June 2023, keeping all the other variables constant.

* Holding all other variables constant

(ii) Cash ﬂow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group's main interest rate risk arises from cash and cash equivalents held, which expose the Group to cash ﬂow interest rate risk. During 2023 and 2022, the Group's cash and cash equivalents at variable rates were denominated in Australian dollars.

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk at the end of the reporting year, expressed in Australian dollars, was as follows:

2023

2022

Financial instruments with cash ﬂow risk

Cash at banks

11,238,716

9,950,777

(B) CREDIT RISK

Exposure to credit risk relating to ﬁnancial assets arises from the potential non-performance by counterparties of contract obligations that could lead to a ﬁnancial loss to the Group.

There has been an increase in the Group's exposure to credit risk in 2023 due to increased cash and cash equivalents. The Group's exposure to other classes of ﬁnancial assets with credit risk is not material.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2023

(CONTINUED)

10 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED)

(B) CREDIT RISK (CONTINUED)

(i) Risk management

Risk is minimised through investing surplus funds in ﬁnancial institutions that maintain a high credit rating.

(ii) Impairment of ﬁnancial assets

While cash and cash equivalents and deposits at call are subject to the impairment requirements of AASB 9, the identiﬁed

impairment loss was immaterial.

(C) LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that the Group might encounter diﬃculty in settling its debts or otherwise meeting its obligations related to ﬁnancial liabilities. The Group manages this risk through the following mechanisms:

• preparing forward looking cash ﬂow analyses in relation to its operating, investing and ﬁnancing activities;

• obtaining funding from a variety of sources;

• maintaining a reputable credit proﬁle;

• managing credit risk related to ﬁnancial assets;

• investing cash and cash equivalents and deposits at call with major ﬁnancial institutions; and

• comparing the maturity proﬁle of ﬁnancial liabilities with the realisation proﬁle of ﬁnancial assets.

(i) Maturities of ﬁnancial liabilities

The tables below analyse the Group's ﬁnancial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash ﬂows.

On 22 November 2021, the Group announced the spin out of the Tasiast South Gold project. The spin out is consistent with the Group's long-term policy to focus its activities on the Group's other businesses. These operations, which are expected to be sold within 12 months, have been classiﬁed as a disposal group and presented separately in the consolidated statement of ﬁnancial position. The proceeds of disposal, if any, are expected to substantially exceed the carrying amount of the related net assets and accordingly no impairment losses have been recognised on the classiﬁcation of these operations as the disposal group.

The following assets and liabilities were classiﬁed as the disposal group as at 30 June 2023:

(CONTINUED)

20 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

This note provides a list of the signiﬁcant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated ﬁnancial statements to the extent they have not already been disclosed in the other notes above. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The ﬁnancial statements are for the Group consisting of Aura Energy Limited and its subsidiaries.

(A) BASIS OF PREPARATION

These general purpose ﬁnancial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Aura Energy Limited is a for-proﬁt entity for the purpose of preparing the ﬁnancial statements.

(i) Compliance with IFRS

The consolidated ﬁnancial statements of the Aura Energy Limited Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

(ii) Historical cost convention

The consolidated ﬁnancial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.

(iii) Going concern

The ﬁnancial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business

activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Group incurred a loss for the year of $6,795,514 (2022: $3,403,791) and a net cash outﬂow from operating activities of

$3,520,813 (2022: $2,690,586).

As at 30 June 2023, the Group had surplus working capital of $12,548,837 (2022: $11,286,717).

Based upon cash ﬂow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisﬁed that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, including the meeting of exploration commitments. In addition, given the Group's history of raising funds to date, the directors are conﬁdent of the Group's ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.

(iv) Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of ﬁnancial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that aﬀect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may diﬀer from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods aﬀected.

Judgements made by management in the application of Australian Accounting Standards that have signiﬁcant eﬀect on the ﬁnancial statements and estimates with a signiﬁcant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note 20(p) Critical accounting estimates and judgements.

(v) Comparative ﬁgures

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

(vi) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

There are no new standards and interpretations that are not yet eﬀective and that would be expected to have a material impact

on the Group in the current or future reporting years and on foreseeable future transactions.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2023

(CONTINUED)

20 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(B) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND EQUITY ACCOUNTING

(i) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to aﬀect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(C) SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision

maker. This has been identiﬁed as the chief executive oﬃcer.

(D) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the ﬁnancial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated ﬁnancial statements are presented in Australian dollar ($), which is Aura Energy Limited's functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in proﬁt or loss.

(E) INCOME TAX

The income tax expense or credit for the year is the tax payable on the current year's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary diﬀerences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting year in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary diﬀerences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated ﬁnancial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction aﬀects neither accounting nor taxable proﬁt or loss.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting year and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary diﬀerences and losses.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2023

(CONTINUED)

20 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(E) INCOME TAX (CONTINUED)

Current and deferred tax is recognised in proﬁt or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

(F) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

For the purpose of presentation in the consolidated statement of cash ﬂows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with ﬁnancial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insigniﬁcant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the consolidated statement of ﬁnancial position.

(G) PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly

attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic beneﬁts associated with the item will ﬂow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to proﬁt or loss during the reporting year in which they are incurred.

The depreciation methods and years used by the Group are as follows:

• Computer equipment - 3 years

• Other plant & equipment - 2-5 years

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting year.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than

its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in proﬁt or

loss.

(H) PROVISIONS

Provisions for legal claims, service warranties and make good obligations are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outﬂow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outﬂow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outﬂow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting year. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reﬂects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks speciﬁc to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as interest expense.

(I) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

For the year ending 30 June 2023 the Group has three types of employee beneﬁts.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2023

(CONTINUED)

20 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(I) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS (CONTINUED)

(i) Deﬁned contribution superannuation funds

A deﬁned contribution plan is a post-employment beneﬁt plan under which an entity pays ﬁxed contributions onto a separate entity and will have no legal or constructive obligation to pay further amounts. Obligations for contributions to deﬁned contribution superannuation funds are recognised as an expense in the income statement as incurred. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available.

(ii) Short-term beneﬁts

Liabilities for employee beneﬁts for wages, salaries and annual leave that are expected to be settled within 12 months of the reporting date represent present obligations resulting from employees' services provided to the reporting date and are calculated at undiscounted amounts based on remuneration wage and salary rates that the Group expects to pay at the reporting date including related on-costs, such as workers compensation insurance and payroll tax.

Non-accumulating non-monetary beneﬁts, such as medical care, housing, cars and free or subsidised goods and services, are expensed based on the net marginal cost to the Group as the beneﬁts are taken by the employees.

(iii) Other long-term beneﬁts

Employee beneﬁts payable later than one year have been measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outﬂows to be made for those beneﬁts.

(J) EQUITY-SETTLED COMPENSATION

The Group operates an employee share ownership scheme. Share-based payments to employees are measured at the fair value of the instruments issued and amortised over the vesting periods. Share-based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the goods or services cannot be reliably measured and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is recorded to the option reserve. The fair value of options is determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The fair value of loan funded shares is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation.

The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

(K) REVENUE AND OTHER INCOME

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account the interest rates applicable to the ﬁnancial assets.

Management fees are recognised on portion of completion basis.

Gain on disposal of tenements, and revenue from equipment chargebacks, are recognised on receipt of compensation. All revenue is stated net of the amount of value added taxes (see Note 20(l) Value-added taxes).

(L) VALUE-ADDED TAXES

Value-added taxes (VAT) is the generic term for the broad-based consumption taxes that the Group is exposed to such as: Australia (GST); Sweden (MOMS); and Mauritania (VAT).

Revenues, expenses, and assets are recognised net of the amount of VAT, except where the amount of VAT incurred is not recoverable from the relevant country's taxation authority. In these circumstances the VAT is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of ﬁnancial position are shown inclusive of VAT.

Cash ﬂows are presented in the statement of cash ﬂows on a gross basis, except for the VAT component of investing and ﬁnancing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash ﬂows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of VAT recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation

authority.

(CONTINUED)

20 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(M) EARNINGS PER SHARE

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings (or loss) per share is determined by dividing the proﬁt or loss attributable to equity holders of the parent company, excluding any costs of service equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the ﬁnancial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings (or loss) per share is determined by adjusting the proﬁt or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the eﬀects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares which comprise share options granted as share-based payments.

The Group does not report diluted earnings per share, as dilution is not applied to annual losses generated by the Group.

(N) IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS

The carrying amounts of the Group's non-ﬁnancial assets, other than deferred tax assets (Note 3 Income tax expense) and exploration and evaluation assets (Note 5(a) Exploration and evaluation) are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.

An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identiﬁable asset group that generates cash ﬂows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, unless the asset has previously been revalued, in which case the impairment loss is recognised as a reversal to the extent of that previous revaluation with any excess recognised through the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated ﬁrst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis.

The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash ﬂows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reﬂects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks speciﬁc to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inﬂows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(O) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Group measures some of its assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis, depending on the requirements of the applicable Accounting Standard.

Fair value is the price the Group would receive to sell an asset or would have to pay to transfer a liability in an orderly (i.e.

unforced) transaction between independent, knowledgeable and willing market participants at the measurement date.

As fair value is a market-based measure, the closest equivalent observable market pricing information is used to determine fair value. Adjustments to market values may be made having regard to the characteristics of the speciﬁc asset or liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2023

(CONTINUED)

20 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(O) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

To the extent possible, market information is extracted from either the principal market for the asset or liability (i.e. the market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability) or, in the absence of such a market, the most advantageous market available to the entity at the end of the reporting period (i.e. the market that maximises the receipts from the sale of the asset or minimises the payments made to transfer the liability, after taking into account transaction costs and transport costs).

For non-ﬁnancial assets, the fair value measurement also takes into account a market participant's ability to use the asset in its highest and best use or to sell it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The fair value of liabilities and the entity's own equity instruments (excluding those related to share-based payment arrangements) may be valued, where there is no observable market price in relation to the transfer of such ﬁnancial instruments, by reference to observable market information where such instruments are held as assets. Where this information is not available, other valuation techniques are adopted and, where signiﬁcant, are detailed in the respective note to the ﬁnancial statements.

(i) Valuation techniques

In the absence of an active market for an identical asset or liability, the Group selects and uses one or more valuation techniques to measure the fair value of the asset or liability, the Group selects a valuation technique that is appropriate in the circumstances and for which suﬃcient data is available to measure fair value. The availability of suﬃcient and relevant data primarily depends on the speciﬁc characteristics of the asset or liability being measured. The valuation techniques selected by the Group are consistent with one or more of the following valuation approaches:

• Market approach: valuation techniques that use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions

for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

• Income approach: valuation techniques that convert estimated future cash ﬂows or income and expenses into a single

discounted present value.

• Cost approach: valuation techniques that reﬂect the current replacement cost of an asset at its current service capacity.

Each valuation technique requires inputs that reﬂect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would use when pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risks. When selecting a valuation technique, the Group gives priority to those techniques that maximise the use of observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs that are developed using market data (such as publicly available information on actual transactions) and reﬂect the assumptions that buyers and sellers would generally use when pricing the asset or liability are considered observable, whereas inputs for which market data is not available and therefore are developed using the best information available about such assumptions are considered unobservable

(ii) Fair value hierarchy

AASB 13 requires the disclosure of fair value information by level of the fair value hierarchy, which categorises fair value measurements into one of three possible levels based on the lowest level that an input that is signiﬁcant to the measurement can be categorised into as follows:

• Level 1

Measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access

at the measurement date.

• Level 2

Measurements based on inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

• Level 3

Measurements based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2023

(CONTINUED)

20 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

(O) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

The fair values of assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market are determined using one or more valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise, to the extent possible, the use of observable market data. If all signiﬁcant inputs required to measure fair value are observable, the asset or liability is included in Level 2. If one or more signiﬁcant inputs are not based on observable market data, the asset or liability is included in Level 3.

The Group would change the categorisation within the fair value hierarchy only in the following circumstances:

• if a market that was previously considered active (Level 1) became inactive (Level 2 or Level 3) or vice versa; or

• if signiﬁcant inputs that were previously unobservable (Level 3) became observable (Level 2) or vice versa.

When a change in the categorisation occurs, the Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy (i.e.

transfers into and out of each level of the fair value hierarchy) on the date the event or change in circumstances occurred.

(P) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements 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 Group.

(i) Key Judgements - Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are carried forward where it is considered likely to be recoverable or where the activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of reserves.

While there are certain areas of interest from which no reserves have been extracted, the Directors are of the continued belief that such expenditure should not be written oﬀ since feasibility studies in such areas have not yet concluded. For further details, refer to Note 5(a) Exploration and evaluation assets. The Company has lodged renewal applications for its Oum Ferkik and Tasiest Gold tenements and has received conﬁrmation from the Ministry of Petroleum, Mines and Energy that the tenements for which exploration licences have been registered for renewal, that all fees due have been paid and in good standing.

The renewals are expected to be issued following the reopening of the Cadastre by Q4 2023. On this basis, the Company considers that the exploration and evaluation costs relating to tenements for which renewal and extension applications have been lodged with the Department of Mines are not impaired.

The carrying value of capitalised expenditure at reporting date is $27,248,300 (2022: $22,323,176).

(ii) Key Judgements - Environmental issues

Balances disclosed in the ﬁnancial statements and notes thereto are not adjusted for any pending or enacted environmental legislation, and the directors understanding thereof. At the current stage of the Group's development and its current environmental impact, the directors believe such treatment is reasonable and appropriate.

(iii) Key Judgements - Taxation

Balances disclosed in the ﬁnancial statements and the notes thereto, related to taxation, are based on the best estimates of directors. These estimates take into account both the ﬁnancial performance and position of the Group as they pertain to current income taxation legislation, and the directors understanding thereof.

(P) CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)

No adjustment has been made for pending or future taxation legislation. The current income tax position represents that directors' best estimate, pending an assessment by tax authorities in relevant jurisdictions. Refer to Note 3 Income tax expense.

(iv) Key Judgements - Impairment

The Group assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions speciﬁc to the Group that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined.

(v) Key Judgements - Share-based payments

The Group 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 of options is determined by an internal valuation using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the assumptions and inputs detailed in Note 8 Share-based payments. The fair value of loan funded shares is determined by a Monte Carlo simulation. The assumptions and inputs to the models are detailed in Note 7 Options.
