SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION (a) Going Concern Basis for Preparation of Financial Statements These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

The deficit in net working capital is predominately due to: • The recognition of $40,226,904 of borrowing as a result of the acquisition of Saloro on 18 January 2024.

The ability of the Company to continue to adopt the going concern assumption is based upon: ▪ Continued optimisation of the production processes and recoveries from the Gravity and XRT Sorter Plants at both the Mt Carbine and Barruecopardo operations. ▪ Extension/refinance of the Saloro current borrowing or extension of the letter of credit from Oaktree Capital Management L.P, which currently supports the debt until 28 June 2025; ▪ Continued engagement with strategic partners to secure offtake prepayments; ▪ Continued success with grant applications for companies operating in the critical minerals sector; and ▪ Continued success issuing equity to strategic partners and or existing shareholders.
