Marble Bar Lithium Project The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary MB Lithium Pty Ltd have entered into a binding Tenements and Mineral Rights Sale Agreement with Lopal Tech Perth Pty Ltd (Lopal Tech), a wholly owned subsidiary of Lopal , for the sale of GL1’s interest in its Marble Bar Lithium Project, including certain non-core exploration tenements and associated lithium mineral rights for a total consideration of A$14.85 million.
Page 9
Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 9 of 64 The agreement covers the sale of exploration tenements E45/4309, E45/4328, E45/4631 (held by GL1) and E45/4669, E45/4724 (held by MB Lithium Pty Ltd), along with associated mineral rights and mining information. Completion of the Tenements and Mineral Rights Sale Agreement is subject to entering into a number of deeds of assignment and assumption with third parties but is not subject to Lopal Tech obtaining FIRB approval. The total potential consideration is A$14.85 million, comprising: I. A completion payment of A$11.85 million payable at the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions precedent (including assignments of existing agreements); and II. A contingent consideration payment of A$3.0 million payable upon the grant of a mining lease over the subject tenements to the Buyer. At the date of this report, the required documents per the Agreement are awaiting counterparty execution. The parties have six months from the date of the Agreement to complete the completion steps. This divestment aligns with GL1’s strategy to focus its resources and capital on the accelerated development of its flagship Manna Lithium Project. Business Risks The Company and its controlled entities (Group/Group’s) principal activities are exploring, evaluating and progressing potential development of lithium resources on the Group’s exploration and mining tenements and progressing the Manna Lithium Project. These activities are speculative in nature and involve significant risks that may not be eliminated even through a combination of careful evaluation, exercise of judgment, mining industry experience and knowledge. Not all exploration will lead to discovery, and discovery may not result ultimately in the development of producing mines. The following summarises the key risks that could affect the Group. Future Capital Requirements As an exploration and development Group, there is currently no net cash flow being generated. When exploration and development costs exceed available funds the Group will require additional funding through the raising of capital from investors or funds fr om lenders in order to continue its operations and to scale growth. The Group will require further funding in the future. The Group is exposed to external market forces that impact on specific commodity prices and overarching market sentiment. This exposure may limit the Group’s ability to raise capital in the future. The Group manages this risk by remaining constantly focused on the Group’s current financial position and forecast working capital requirements. Although the Group believes that additional capital can be obtained, it can provide no assurances that appropriate capital or funding, if and when needed, will be available. Commodity Price Volatility and Exchange Rate Risk If the Group successfully develops its project/s leading to mineral production, it will derive revenue through the sale of its mineral products. The sale process exposes the Group to commodity price and exchange rate risks. Commodity prices are fluid and are affected by many factors beyond the control of the Group. These factors can include changes in supply and demand for the products, technological advancement and other macro-economic factors. Additionally, commodity prices may be denominated in international currencies, whereas the Group reports in Australian dollars. This exposes the Group to fluctuations and volatility in exchange rates as determined by international markets.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 10 of 64 Reserves and Resources The Mineral Resources for the Group’s assets are estimates only in compliance with industry standards and no assurance can be given that any future production will achieve the expected tonnages and grades. Operational Risks The Group’s activities are subject to operational risks that could result in increased costs. To manage this risk the Group seeks to attract and retain high calibre employees and implement suitable systems and processes to ensure the risk is minimised. Share Market Conditions The market price of the Company’s shares can rise and fall subject to unpredictable influences on the share market and in particular with resource exploration and development securities. Neither the Company nor the Directors can warrant the future perform ance of the Company or any return on investment in the Company. Tenure, Access and Grant of Licences/Permits The Group holds interests in tenements situated in Western Australia and is subject to the Mining Act of that jurisdiction. The Group has an obligation to meet certain conditions that apply to the granted tenements, including payment of rent and prescribed annual minimum expenditure commitments. The exploration tenements are subject to annual review and periodical renewal. Renewal conditions can include requirements such as increased minimum expenditure commitments and compulsory relinquishment of certain areas of a licence. The Group intends to satisfy the condition that apply to its exploration tenements, however, it cannot guarantee that, in the future, all exploration tenements subject to renewal will be renewed or that minimum expenditure requirements and other conditions that apply to such tenements will be satisfied. Land Access Risk In Australia there is significant regulation and restriction on the ability of exploration and mining companies to gain access to land. Negotiations will generally be required with both Native Title parties and private land owners or pastoral leaseholders prior to the Group gaining access to the respective land for exploration or mining activities. If there is a delay in obtaining agreement from these parties whose land comprises the tenements there may be an adverse impact or dela y to the Group's ability to carry out exploration or mining activities on its Tenements. Regulatory Environment and Changes in Government Policy Changes in Federal and State Government policies or legislation has the possibility of affecting ownership on mineral interests, taxation, royalties, land access, labour relations and mining and exploration activities of the Group. It is possible current policies and legislation may change, which could result in impaired rights associated with the Group’s tenements without adequate compensation. The Group must be able to adapt quickly to the evolving regulatory environment within Australia. A changing regulatory environment and/or changes in Government policy can result in an increase in the complexity and cost of doing business which could lead to the risk of forfeiture of exploration and mining claims due to failure to comply with these complex regulator y environments. In Australia, significant compliance risk may arise from emerging changes to regulatory frameworks, including the Work Health and Safety (Mines) Regulations 2022. Climate Change Climate change or prolonged periods of adverse weather and climatic conditions (including rising sea levels, floods, hail, drought, water scarcity, temperature extremes, frosts, earthquakes and pestilences) may have an adverse effect on the ability of the Group to access and utilise its tenements. This would adversely effect the ability of the Group to carry out its operations.
Page 11
Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 11 of 64 Changes in policy, technological innovation, and consumer or investor preferences could adversely impact the Group's business strategy. Environmental, Social and Governance The Group is committed to responsibly manage the environment and minimise the impact our operations may have on local habitats and waterways. Protecting and respecting the environment and local communities within which the Group operates is a Priority and the Group looks forward to enhancing its positive impact in these areas. Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage Determinations of native title have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Group has an interest, including in respect of the Manna Lithium Project. The native title does not interfere with exercise, by the Group, of rights under their tenements and the exercise of those rights takes priority over the exercise of the native title. However, the Group may be liable to pay compensation in relation to the effect of the grant of its tenements on that native title, which will be determined by the Federal Court if not agreed. The Group has concluded a Native Title Mining Agreement with the Native Title Holders over the land in respect of which a mining lease has been granted for the Manna Lithium Project. The terms of that Agreement ar e confidential between the parties. Native title claims have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Group has an interest. The Group is unable to determine the prospects for success or otherwise of the claims and, in any event, whether or not and to what extent the claims may significantly affect the Group or its projects. Areas of the Group’s tenements may be subject to Aboriginal heritage sites protected by State and Federal legislation. In those areas, the agreement of relevant native title holders and certain governmental approvals may be required before members of the Group can exercise rights under their tenements. Agreement is being or has been reached with relevant native title holders in relation to Aboriginal heritage processes regarding areas in which the Group has an interest. Significant changes in the state of affairs There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the Company during the year ended 30 June 2026. Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year On 1 July 2026 625,000 performance rights were exercised and converted to fully paid ordinary shares. On 3 July 2026 the Company announced the appointment of Chief Financial Officer Brian Thorpe and the appointment of Company Secretary Emma Wates following the resignation of Daniel Coletta. On 15 July 2026 the Company went into a Trading Halt on the Australian Securites Exchange prior to announcing that, through its wholly owned subsidiary GL1 HoldCo No 3 Pty Ltd, it has executed a binding Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued share capital in IGO Nova Pty td, the sole owner of the Nova Operation comprising the Nova processing plant and associated infrastructure, from IGO Nova Holdings Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of IGO Limited. The total consideration for the acquisition is A$7.0 million. The objectives of this strategic acquisition are to accelerate the development of the Manna Lithium Project through enhanced project economics.
Page 12
Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 12 of 64 The Nova Operation includes an existing nickel -copper processing plant and extensive associated infrastructure. The plant has been identified as highly suitable for conversion to allow processing pegmatite ore mined from the Companys Manna Lithium Project. The Company will immediately commence a Manna- Nova Operation Integration Study. This pathway has the potential to save substantial capital compared to the greenfields processing plant contemplated in the Manna Definitive Feasibility Study. The total consideration is A$7,000,000, comprising a combination of cash and scrip payments: • A$3,000,000 cash (comprising the initial deposit of A$1,000,000 payable immediately upon signing the Agreement and A$2,000,000 payable at completion); • A$2,000,000 by the issue of fully paid ordinary GL1 shares at an issue price equal to the VWAP of GL1 shares for the 10 trading days prior to completion, subject to a 12- month voluntary escrow period. The issue of shares is subject to a cap of 13,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares (13,333,333 shares were issued on 15 July 2026); and • A$2,000,000 cash payable on the first business day after the first anniversary of the completion date. On 16 July 2026 67,605 employee performance rights were converted to fully paid ordinary shares on the achievement of performance milestones. On 4 August 2026 the Company announced it had received approval for the Mining Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP) for its Manna Lithium Project from the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE). 2,850,000 unlisted long term incentive performance rights were issued to senior management and staff under the Company’s Incentive Awards Plan on 18 August 2026. On 20 August 2026 the Company announced the Native Vegetation Clearing Permit (NVCP) for its Manna Lithium Project had been approved by the DMPE. In addition, the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has confirmed technical support for the grant of the Manna Groundwater Licence (GWL), with the supported entitlement fully covering the water requirements of the current Manna operating plan and addit ional groundwater resource capacity retained for future project expansion. The Group announced the results of its Manna-Nova Integration Study on 16 September 2026, which confirmed a significantly enhanced and accelerated development pathway for the Manna Lithium Project via conversion of the acquired Nova processing facility and associated infrastructure. Highlights of the study include: • Post-tax NPV8 of A$946 million, up A$474 million (or 100%) on the A$472 million announced as part of the December 2025 Manna Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”); • Post-tax IRR of 120%, compared to 25.7% in the DFS; • Payback period of 11 months from production start, down from 3.5 years in the DFS; • Required pre-production funding reduced to A$180.1 million, down A$259.0 million (59.0%) from the A$439.1 in the DFS; • Probable Ore Reserve increased 8.0% to 21Mt at 0.89% Li2O, from the 19.4Mt at 0.91% Li2O reported in the DFS; • Life-of-mine concentrate production of 2,684.3kt with an average annual production of 257kt SC5.5 for the first 7 years; • Mine life of 13 years. Additional years could potentially be added through the processing of low-grade mineralised material not included in the Mineral Resource Estimate;
Page 13
Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 13 of 64 • First Direct Shipping Ore (“DSO”) shipment targeted for May 2027, generating revenue ahead of concentrate production; • First spodumene concentrate (SC5.5) targeted for mid- 2027 leveraging the existing Nova facilities and infrastructure; • 70% of Manna's spodumene concentrate production remains committed under binding offtake arrangements with Lopal (40%) and Canmax (30%); and • Manna expected to become Australia’s next lithium producer with Final Investment Decision (“FID”) on track for December Quarter 2026. On 22 September 2026 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed (SID) with Titan Australia Mining Pty Ltd under which it is proposed that Titan will acquire 100% of the shares in Global Lithium by way of a scheme of arrangement for cash consideration of A$1.15 per share. Transaction highlights include: • Offer Price of A$1.15 per share: The Offer Price values Global Lithium at ~A$333 million 1 and represents a significant premium to Global Lithium’s recent traded prices. • Cash consideration provides certain value: The Scheme provides Global Lithium shareholders with certain and immediate value for their Global Lithium shares in advance of the risks associated with the construction and development of the Manna Lithium Project, and during a period of continued lithium market volatility. • Acquisition by an integrated lithium business: Titan is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Titan Lithium Group, a privately held group developing a large-scale lithium refinery to manufacture battery-grade lithium products in the United Arab Emirates. The Titan Lithium Group is building a fully integrated lithium business and sees the Manna Lithium Project as a natural extension of its supply chain. • Development progress uninterrupted: The Titan Lithium Group is providing Global Lithium with a facility of up to A$120m to allow Global Lithium to progress the development of the Manna Lithium Project during the Scheme. This ensures that the project can be delivered as scheduled and does not experience delays as a result of the Scheme, for the benefit of both Global Lithium and Titan. • Recommended by Global Lithium board: Global Lithium's directors unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an Independent Expert concluding the Scheme is in the best interests of Global Lithium shareholders. • Global Lithium directors intend to vote in favour: The Global Lithium shares controlled by Global Lithium directors (which currently represents 12.5% of Global Lithium shares on issue) will, subject to the same qualifications as set out above, be voted in favour of the Scheme. • Limited conditionality: The Scheme is subject to standard conditions for a transaction of this nature, including regulatory approvals and approval by Global Lithium shareholders at a 1 Fully diluted equity value based on Offer Price of A$1.15 per share and 277,494,839 shares, 605,050 options, and 8,737,920 performance rights currently on issue, plus 2,550,000 performance rights proposed to be issued to Global Lithium directors prior to the Scheme effective date (subject to shareholder approval).

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 17 of 64 3 Remuneration Governance KMP remuneration decision making is guided by the following remuneration governance framework as follows: Board of Directors (Board) The Board: • the establishment of remuneration strategies and practices that reward performance aligned with Company’s strategic objectives and long-term stakeholder interests • approves the remuneration arrangements of Executive KMP including fixed and variable pay elements • proposes the aggregate remuneration of NEDs for shareholder approval and sets remuneration for individual NEDs External Remuneration Consultants To ensure the Board is fully informed when making remuneration decisions, it may seek external, independent remuneration advice on remuneration related issues. No remuneration recommendations as defined in section 9B of the Corporations Act 2001 were provided by the consultant during the period. 4 FY26 Executive Remuneration The Group aims to reward executives based on their position and responsibility, with a level and mix of remuneration which has both fixed and variable components. A combination of the following comprises the executive’s total remuneration: Fixed Remuneration (FR) Short-Term Incentive (STI) Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Purpose Attract and retain high quality executives through market competitive and fair remuneration. Ensure a portion of remuneration is variable, at-risk and linked to the achievements of group and/or individual performance targets over the financial year. Align the financial interests of KMP with those of Global Lithium shareholders over the long term. Delivery Includes base pay/fee, superannuation, and other non- monetary benefits (where applicable). Delivered in the form of a cash incentive awarded on the delivery of key milestones. Delivered, at the Board's discretion, in Performance Rights (Rights) or Premium Priced Options (Options). Awards vest in tranches based on the delivery of key milestones over multiple performance periods as set by the Board. Alignment to performance Set and reviewed annually by the Board with reference to comparable industry market benchmarks as well as the size, responsibilities, and complexity of the role, and skills and experience. Individual performance impacts fixed remuneration adjustments. Performance is assessed using a scorecard comprising financial and non-financial measures linked to the key strategic priorities for the performance year. Performance is assessed against key metrics which align to shareholder wealth creation over the long term. The Board believes this structure provides a balance between alignment of shareholder returns whilst mitigating the risk of excessive focus on share price performance.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 29 of 64 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1: Material accounting policies Global Lithium Resources Limited (the ‘Company’) is domiciled and incorporated in Australia. These consolidated financial statements and notes for the period ended 30 June 202 6 represent those of the Company and its controlled entities (the ‘Group’). The Group is involved in resource exploration and development in Western Australia. The financial report was authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 September 2026. Basis of preparation The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. a) Statement of Compliance The financial report is a general -purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (‘AASBs’) (including Australian Accounting Interpretations), other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (‘AASB’) and the Corporations Act 2001. Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions to which they apply. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Global Lithium Resources Limited is a for -profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements. b) Basis of consolidation The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all of its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2026. The Company controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. All transactions and balances between Group Companies are eliminated on consolidation, including unrealised gains and losses on transactions between Group Companies. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. c) Basis of measurement The financial report is prepared on the historical costs basis and on an accrual basis. d) Functional and presentation currency These consolidated financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 30 of 64 e) Critical accounting estimates and judgements The preparation of a financial report in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and ex penses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other 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. These accounting policies have been consistently applied by each entity in the consolidated group. The 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 if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements are described below: Estimation of useful lives of assets The Group determines the estimated useful lives and related depreciation and amortisation charges for its property, plant and equipment. The useful lives could change significantly as a result of technical innovations or some other event. The depreciation and amortisation charge will increase where the useful lives are less than previously estimated lives, or technically obsolete or non- strategic assets that have been abandoned or sold will be written off or written down. 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 using an appropriate valuation model, such as the Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools ESO2 valuation model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The Hoadley Trading & Investment Tools ESO2 valuation model, the Hoadley Barrier 1 valuation model, the Hoadley’s Parisian Model, the Black Scholes option pricing model and the ‘per security’ valuation model (which uses share price at grant date multiplied by number of instruments expected to vest) were used to value the options and performance rights. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity. Exploration and evaluation expenditure Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered throug h the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economica lly recoverable reserves. Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 31 of 64 Contingencies Judgement is required to determine the applicable accounting standard that applies to the Contingent tenement acquisition costs payable to BCI Minerals Limited by the Company as consideration for tenement acquisitions. The Directors have determined that AASB 137 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets applies as the Company is unable to determine at this stage whether the exploration licences the agreement refers to will be subject to a pre- feasibility study and/or mining operations. As at year end, the Contingent tenement acquisition costs are disclosed as contingent liabilities because it is not possible to determine whether an outflow is probable and to reliably estimate the amount payable. f) Revenue recognition The Group recognises revenue as follows: Interest Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset. Other revenue Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established. g) Income tax The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on that period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction, adjusted by the changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences, unused tax losses and the adjustment recognised for prior periods, where applicable. h) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include 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. Highly liquid investments with original maturities greater than three months will be classified as other receivables. For the statement of cash flows presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents also includes bank overdrafts, which are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position. i) Property, plant and equipment Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight -line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows: Plant and equipment 3-7 years The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 32 of 64 j) Investments and other financial assets Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless an accounting mismatch is being avoided. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the consolidated entity has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the consolidated entity intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition. Presentation of disposal of financial assets at FVOCI In the half-year financial statements, the cumulative gain of $ 2,429,564 on disposal of the Group's investment in Kairos, which was designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), was presented in profit or loss. In accordance with the Group's accounting policy, cumulative gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of equity investments designated at FVOCI are not reclassified to profit or loss on disposal. Such amounts may instead be transferred within equity from the FVOCI reserve to retained earnings. The presentation has been updated in the annual financial statements. There is no impact on total comprehensive income, total equity, net assets or cash flows. The cumulative gain has instead been presented as a transfer within equity from the FVOCI reserve to retained earnings. k) Current and non-current classification Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification. An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non- current. A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in the consolidated entity's normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no right at the end of the reporting period to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are always classified as non-current. l) Issued capital Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 33 of 64 m) Dividends Dividends are recognised when declared during the financial year and no longer at the discretion of the company. n) Impairment of non-financial assets Non-financial assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value- in-use. The value-in-use is the present value of the estimated future cash flows relating to the asset using a pre-tax discount rate specific to the asset or cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. Assets that do not have independent cash flows are grouped together to form a cash- generating unit. o) Fair value measurement When an asset or liability, financial or non- financial, is measured at fair value for recognition or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: in the principal market; or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market. Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming they act in their economic best interests. For non- financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best use. Valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, are used, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels, using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers bet ween levels are determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. For recurring and non- recurring fair value measurements, external valuers may be used when internal expertise is either not available or when the valuation is deemed to be significant. External valuers are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. Where there is a significant change in fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an analysis is undertaken, which includes a verification of the major inputs applied in the latest valuation and a comparison, where applicable, with external sources of data.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 34 of 64 p) Non-current assets classified as held for sale Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continued use. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs of dis posal. For non- current assets to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for immediate sale in their present condition and their sale must be highly probable. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the non-current assets to fair value less costs of disposal. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs of disposal of a non-current assets, but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. Non-current assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable to the liabilities of assets held for sale continue to be recognised. Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current assets. The liabilities of disposal groups classified as held for sale are presented separately on the face of the statement of financial position, in current liabilities. q) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended, but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the Consolidated Group for the annual reporting year ended 30 June 2026. These include AASB 18 Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements – effective date 1 July 2027 - replaces AASB 101 and introduces new categories and subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures, and changes the grouping of information in the financial statements The Group will continue to assess the potential impacts of the above Standard on its consolidated financial statements: Other than the above there are no other material new or amended accounting Standards which will materially affect the Group.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 35 of 64 r) Leases 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, except where included in the cost of inventories an estimate of costs expected to be incurred for dismantling and removing the underlying asset, and restoring the site or asset. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight -line basis over the unexpired period of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset, whichever is the shorter. Where the Group expects to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of the leas e term, the depreciation is over its estimated useful life. Right -of-use assets are subject to impairment or adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The Consolidated Group 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. Lease liabilities A lease liability is recognised at the commencement date of a lease. The lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the term of the lease, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Consolidated Group’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments comprise of fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees, exercise price of a purchase option when the exercise of the option is r easonably certain to occur, and any anticipated termination penalties. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Lease liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The carrying amounts are remeasured if there is a change in the following: future lease payments arising from a change in an index or a rate used; residual guarantee; lease term; certainty of a purchase option or lease term extension and termination penalties. When a lease liability is remeasured, an adjustment is made to the corresponding right-of-use asset, or to profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is fully written down. Note 2: Operating segments Identification of reportable operating segments The Group is organised into one operating segment, being exploration operations in Australia. This operating segment is based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (who are identified as the Chief Operating Decision Makers ('CODM')) in as sessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The accounting policies adopted for internal reporting to the CODM are consistent with those adopted in the financial statements. The information reported to the CODM is on a monthly basis. The reportable segment is represented by the primary statements forming these financial statements.

Treasury Risk Management Senior Executives of the Company meet on a regular basis to analyse financial risk exposure and to evaluate treasury management strategies in the context of the most recent economic conditions and forecasts. The Senior Executives overall risk management strategy seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on financial performance. The Senior Executives operate under the guidance of the Board of Directors. Risk management initiatives are addressed by the Board when required. ii. Financial Risk Exposures and Management The main risks the Company is exposed to through its financial instruments are interest rate risk, liquidity risk.

All of the entity’s exposure to interest rate risk is limited to cash and cash equivalents.
Page 47
Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 47 of 64 Note 24: Financial Instruments (continued) At 30 June 2026, the Company is exposed to interest rate risk on cash balances and term deposits held in interest bearing accounts. The Board monitors its interest rate exposure and attempts to maximise interest income whilst ensuring sufficient funds are available for the Group’s operating activities. Companies’ exposure to interest rate risk at 30 June 202 6 approximates reasonable interest rate movements applied to the value of cash and cash equivalents and term deposits recorded as other receivables. Fair value hierarchy The Group uses various methods in estimating the fair value of financial instruments. AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level in accordance with the following fair value measurement hierarchy: a) Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) b) Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (level 2); and c) Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (level 3) The Group's financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income, valued at $1,240,006 as at 30 June 2026 (2025: $7,920,000), are measured using Level 1 inputs. Liquidity risk The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows. Market risk Market risk is the risk that the value of the Company's investments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. At 30 June 2026 , the Company is exposed to equity price risk. The investment in listed equity securities is susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties relating to the future values of the investments’ securities. As at reporting date the Company’s exposure to equity price risk is $1,240,006 (2025: $7,920,000). A decrease of 10% on the share price could have an impact of approximately $124 ,000 (2025: $792,000) on the total comprehensive loss for the year. Net fair values of financial assets and liabilities Assets and liabilities included in the Consolidated statement of financial position are carried at amounts that approximate their fair values. Please refer to Note 1 for the methods and assumptions adopted in determining net fair values for investments.

A completion payment of A$11.85 million payable at the satisfaction or waiver of various conditions precedent (including assignments of existing agreements); and II. A contingent consideration payment of A$3.0 million payable upon the grant of a mining lease over the subject tenements to the Buyer. At the date of this report, the required documents per the Agreement are awaiting counterparty execution. The parties have six months from the date of the Agreement to complete the completion steps. Native Title and Aboriginal Heritage Determinations of native title have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Group has an interest. The native title does not interfere with exercise, by members of the Group, of rights under their tenements and the exercise of those rights takes priority over the exercise of the native title. The Group may be liable to pay compensation in relation to the effect of the grant of its tenements on that native title, which will be determined by the Federal Court if not agreed. The Group is unable to determine the quantum of any future compensation at this time. Native title claims have been made with respect to areas which include tenements in which the Group has an interest. The Group is unable to determine the prospects for success or otherwise of the claims and, in any event, whether or not and to what extent the claims may significantly affect the Group or its projects. Areas of the Group’s tenements may be subject to Aboriginal heritage sites protected by State and Federal legislation. In those areas, the agreement of relevant native title holders and certain governmental approvals may be required before members of the G roup can exercise rights under their tenements. Agreement is being or has been reached with relevant native title holders in relation to Aboriginal heritage processes regarding areas in which the Group has an interest.

Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 54 of 64 Note 31: Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year On 1 July 2026 625,000 performance rights were exercised and converted to fully paid ordinary shares. On 3 July 2026 the Company announced the appointment of Chief Financial Officer Brian Thorpe and the appointment of Company Secretary Emma Wates following the resignation of Daniel Coletta. On 15 July 2026 the Company went into a Trading Halt on the Australian Securites Exchange prior to announcing that, through its wholly owned subsidiary GL1 HoldCo No 3 Pty Ltd, it has executed a binding Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued share capital in IGO Nova Pty td, the sole owner of the Nova Operation comprising the Nova processing plant and associated infrastructure, from IGO Nova Holdings Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of IGO Limited. The total consideration for the acquisition is A$7.0 million. The objectives of this strategic acquisition are to accelerate the development of the Manna Lithium Project through enhanced project economics. The Nova Operation includes an existing nickel -copper processing plant and extensive associated infrastructure. The plant has been identified as highly suitable for conversion to allow processing pegmatite ore mined from the Companys Manna Lithium Project. The Company will immediately commence a Manna- Nova Operation Integration Study. This pathway has the potential to save substantial capita l compared to the greenfields processing plant contemplated in the Manna Definitive Feasibility Study. The total consideration is A$7,000,000, comprising a combination of cash and scrip payments: • A$3,000,000 cash (comprising the initial deposit of A$1,000,000 payable immediately upon signing the Agreement and A$2,000,000 payable at completion); • A$2,000,000 by the issue of fully paid ordinary GL1 shares at an issue price equal to the VWAP of GL1 shares for the 10 trading days prior to completion, subject to a 12- month voluntary escrow period. The issue of shares is subject to a cap of 13,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares (13,333,333 shares were issued on 15 July 2026); and • A$2,000,000 cash payable on the first business day after the first anniversary of the completion date. On 16 July 2026 67,605 employee performance rights were converted to fully paid ordinary shares on the achievement of performance milestones. On 4 August 2026 the Company announced it had received approval for the Mining Development and Closure Proposal (MDCP) for its Manna Lithium Project from the Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE). 2,850,000 unlisted long term incentive performance rights were issued to senior management and staff under the Company’s Incentive Awards Plan on 18 August 2026. On 20 August 2026 the Company announced the Native Vegetation Clearing Permit (NVCP) for its Manna Lithium Project had been approved by the DMPE. In addition, the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) has confirmed technical support for the grant of the Manna Groundwater Licence (GWL), with the supported entitlement fully covering the water requirements of the current Manna operating plan and additional groundwater resource capacity retained for future project expansion. The Group announced the results of its Manna- Nova Integration Study on 16 September 2026, which confirmed a significantly enhanced and accelerated development pathway for the Manna Lithium Project via conversion of the acquired Nova processing facility and associated infrastructure. Highlights of the study include: • Post-tax NPV 8 of A$946 million, up A$474 million (or 100%) on the A$472 million announced as part of the December 2025 Manna Definitive Feasibility Study (“DFS”);
Page 55
Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 55 of 64 • Post-tax IRR of 120%, compared to 25.7% in the DFS; • Payback period of 11 months from production start, down from 3.5 years in the DFS; • Required pre-production funding reduced to A$180.1 million, down A$259.0 million (59.0%) from the A$439.1 in the DFS; • Probable Ore Reserve increased 8.0% to 21Mt at 0.89% Li 2O, from the 19.4Mt at 0.91% Li 2O reported in the DFS; • Life-of-mine concentrate production of 2,684.3kt with an average annual production of 257kt SC5.5 for the first 7 years; • Mine life of 13 years. Additional years could potentially be added through the processing of low - grade mineralised material not included in the Mineral Resource Estimate; • First Direct Shipping Ore (“DSO”) shipment targeted for May 2027, generating revenue ahead of concentrate production; • First spodumene concentrate (SC5.5) targeted for mid- 2027 leveraging the existing Nova facilities and infrastructure; • 70% of Manna's spodumene concentrate production remains committed under binding offtake arrangements with Lopal (40%) and Canmax (30%); and • Manna expected to become Australia’s next lithium producer with Final Investment Decision (“FID”) on track for December Quarter 2026. On 22 September 2026 the Company announced that it had entered into a binding Scheme Implementation Deed (SID) with Titan Australia Mining Pty Ltd under which it is proposed that Titan will acquire 100% of the shares in Global Lithium by way of a scheme of arrangement for cash consideration of A$1.15 per share. Transaction highlights include: • Offer Price of A$1.15 per share: The Offer Price values Global Lithium at ~A$333 million 2 and represents a significant premium to Global Lithium’s recent traded prices. • Cash consideration provides certain value: The Scheme provides Global Lithium shareholders with certain and immediate value for their Global Lithium shares in advance of the risks associated with the construction and development of the Manna Lithium Projec t, and during a period of continued lithium market volatility. • Acquisition by an integrated lithium business: Titan is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Titan Lithium Group, a privately held group developing a large-scale lithium refinery to manufacture battery-grade lithium products in the United Arab Emirates. The Ti tan Lithium Group is building a fully integrated lithium business and sees the Manna Lithium Project as a natural extension of its supply chain. • Development progress uninterrupted: The Titan Lithium Group is providing Global Lithium with a facility of up to A$120m to allow Global Lithium to progress the development of the Manna Lithium Project during the Scheme. This ensures that the project can be delivered as scheduled and does not experience delays as a result of the Scheme, for the benefit of both Global Lithium and Titan. • Recommended by Global Lithium board: Global Lithium's directors unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an Independent Expert concluding the Scheme is in the best interests of Global Lithium shareholders. 2 Fully diluted equity value based on Offer Price of A$1.15 per share and 277,494,839 shares, 605,050 options, and 8,737,920 performance rights currently on issue, plus 2,550,000 performance rights proposed to be issued to Global Lithium directors prior to the Scheme effective date (subject to shareholder approval).
Page 56
Global Lithium Resources Limited ABN 58 626 093 150 Annual Financial Statements 56 of 64 • Global Lithium directors intend to vote in favour: The Global Lithium shares controlled by Global Lithium directors (which currently represents 12.5% of Global Lithium shares on issue) will, subject to the same qualifications as set out above, be voted in favour of the Scheme. • Limited conditionality: The Scheme is subject to standard conditions for a transaction of this nature, including regulatory approvals and approval by Global Lithium shareholders at a Scheme meeting expected to be held in late December 2026, with implementation of the Scheme expected to occur shortly thereafter. On 23 September 2026 the Company announced that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) had granted a notification waiver in relation to the Nova Acquisition. The ACCC notification waiver satisfies the condition precedent to completion under the Agreement and, accordingly, the Nova Acquisition is now unconditional. No other matters or circumstance have arisen since 30 June 2026 that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect the Group’s operations, the results of those operations, or the Group’s state of affairs in future financial years.

In our opinion the accompanying financial report of Global Lithium Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including: i) Giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 30 June 2026 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and ii) Complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the consolidated entity 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 (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Key Audit Matters key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. Th ese matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on th ese matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context .

60 of 64 Carrying value of capitalised exploration expenditure Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter As at 30 June 2026 the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets was $ 127,852,711 (2025: $144,123,417), as disclosed in note 14. The consolidated entity’s accounting policy and accounting judgement and estimates in respect of exploration and evaluation expenditure is outlined in note 1(e). Significant judgement is required: • in determining whether facts and circumstances indicate that the exploration and evaluation assets should be tested for impairment in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 6 - Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources (“AASB 6”); and • in determining the treatment of exploration and evaluation expenditure in accordance with AASB 6, and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy. In particular: • whether the particular areas of interest meet the recognition conditions for an asset; and • which elements of exploration and evaluation expenditures qualify for capitalisation for each area of interest. Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures: • evaluating management’s assessment of impairment indicators prepared in accordance with AASB 6 including: o assessing whether the rights to tenure of the areas of interest remained current at the reporting date as well as evaluating the evidence supporting management’s expectation that rights to tenure will be renewed for permits expiring in the near future; o holding discussions with the Directors and management as to the status of ongoing exploration programmes for the areas of interest, as well as assessing if there was evidence that a decision had been made to discontinue activities in any specific areas of interest; and o obtaining and assessing evidence of the consolidated entity’s future intention s for the areas of interest, including reviewing project updates and exploration results disclosed in ASX announcements, board minutes, future budgeted expenditure and planned work programmes. • considering whether exploration activities for the areas of interest had reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of economically recoverable reserves existed; • testing, on a sample basis, exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred during the year for compliance with AASB 6 and the consolidated entity’s accounting policy; and • assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in note 1(e) and 14.

61 of 64 Share-based payments Why significant How our audit addressed the key audit matter For the year ended 30 June 2026, the value of share- based payments issued, and recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income, totalled $1,843,187 (2025: $153,276) as disclosed in notes 1(e) and 6. Share-based payments are considered a key audit matter due to the complex accounting judgements and assumptions involved in applying the requirements of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 2 - Share-based Payment (“AASB 2”). Significant judgement is required in relation to: • The valuation method used in the model; and • The assumptions and inputs used within the model. The consolidated entity’s accounting policy and accounting judgement and estimates in respect of share-based payments is outlined in note 1(e). Our work included, but was not limited to, the following procedures: • Reviewing the independent expert’s valuations of the equity instruments issued, including: o evaluating the competence, capabilities and objectivity of management’s valuation expert; o assessing the appropriateness of the valuation method used; and o assessing the reasonableness of the assumptions and inputs used within the valuation model. • Reviewing Board meeting minutes and ASX announcements as well as enquiring of relevant personnel to assess the completeness of share -based payment arrangements identified by management; • evaluating management’s assessment of the probability of satisfying non -market vesting conditions by comparing the assessment with the contractual terms, current performance and other relevant supporting evidence; • Assessing the allocation and recognition to ensure these are reasonable; and • Assessing the appropriateness of the related disclosures in note 1(e) and 6.

62 of 64 Other Information Those charged with governance are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the consolidated entity’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2026, but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, with the exception of the Remuneration Report. In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of Directors’ for the Financial Report The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of:- a) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and b) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001; and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of :- i) the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statements) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and ii) the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial report, the Directors are responsible for assessing the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either intend to liquidate the consolidated entity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
Page 63
63 of 64 As part of an audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting fro m error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the consolidated entity’s internal control. • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Directors. • Conclude on the appropriateness of the Directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the consolidated entity to cease to continue as a going concern. • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. • Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the consolidated entity to express an opinion on the group financial report. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied. From the matters communicated with the Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
