HALF YEAR TO SEPTEMBER 30 2024

CHAIR’S REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders

New Talisman Gold Mines Ltd reports for the half year

to 30 September 2024, which saw significant progress

in implementing our Strategic Plan, with Capital Raised,

Processing plant equipment purchased, Access

Agreement granted and forward workplan confirmed for

the Talisman Mine.

Highlights in the period include:

• Completion of a successful Capital Raise

by way of Rights Issue and placement

of shortfall, raising $2.41m, to support

recommencement of our operations at

Talisman Mine and purchase of a Processing

Plant.

• Granted a five year Access Agreement by the

Department of Conservation providing surety

for a much extended period from the previous

six month agreements that were in place.

• Satisfied all DOC Access Arrangement

conditions and received Authority to Enter

and Operate (AEO) at Talisman

• Entered into Heads of Agreement with Terra

Firma Mining Ltd to lease premises and

process ore produced by the Talisman Mine.

• Entered into $1.4m of unsecured loans to

support the company until a Capital Raise

was complete.

• Purchased a processing plant and readied it

for shipment

• Converted to shares $558k of the Convertible

Loan Note held by NTL’s largest Shareholder

• Appointed General Manager

• Michael Stiassny, a seasoned Director

re-elected to the Board at the ASM

• Approval at ASM for Director uptake of $170k

in Shortfall

In July 2024 NTL made a Rights Offer to shareholders.

Prior to the Rights Offer, NTL entered into unsecured loan

facilities from the company’s largest shareholder and two

Directors to satisfy Audit requirements for the company’s

cash position. Subsequent to the capital raise the loan

facility with the largest shareholder was cancelled. The

other two facilities remain in place but currently undrawn.

The Rights Offer to existing shareholders in New Zealand

and Australia opened on 11 July 2024. The offer gave existing

shareholders the opportunity to take up to 1 new share

for every 1 share they held on the record date at a price

of NZ$0.018 or AU$0.017 per share. The offer of new shares

was made under NZX Listing Rules 4.3.1(a) and ASX Listing

Rule 7.2, exception1. The Offer closed on Friday 26th July

2024 and shortfall placement from the offer closed on 23rd

August 2024. The entire Rights Offer, including participation

from three NTL Directors, raised a total of NZ$2.41m.

Since closing this successful Rights Offer, we have moved

forward immediately with our strategic plan, including

purchasing processing plant, progressing the processing

site, and preparing for bulk sampling on the Mystery Vein

at Talisman.

The Company has concluded its review of suitable

processing sites and has entered into a Heads of

Agreement with Terra Firma Mining(TFM) to provide

leasehold premises suitable to locate a plant. The

agreement includes TFM being contracted to process ore

produced at the Talisman mine.

NTL has been coordinating with Mine Operator Terra

Firma to time its run in stockpiling ore for processing

through the recently acquired plant, and thereby align

expenditure with anticipated generation of revenue

once the plant is operational. Thus, in line with this plan,

early-stage work in preparation for mining has taken

place, and the company announced the potential upside

to expectations for Mystery vein South, that has been

exposed for the first time in many years. The appearance

of the vein has led to a consensus of the mining team

to recommend blasting and sampling to ascertain if the

grades warrant further development of this area. It is

anticipated that samples from Mystery South will be sent

for assay in November. Sampling Mystery vein both North

and South is an exciting prospect with an opportunity to

add considerable value to the Bulk sampling project.

NTL has completed the purchase of the processing

plant for which it paid a deposit in the first quarter. The

processing plant has now been cleaned, containerised

and prepared for shipping to New Zealand. We

now anticipate its arrival in mid-December 2024,

approximately one month later than originally anticipated

due to extensive disruption caused by rolling strikes at US

and Canadian ports.

The Company remains in discussions with refiners

interested in purchasing the high grade concentrate the

plant will produce.

During the first quarter the Company was granted a five

year Access Arrangement (AA) with the Department of

Conservation for the Talisman Mine. The AA term of 5

years is a material improvement on recent renewals,

which were limited to periods of less than a year.

Following the granting of the AA, and the Company

working through the routine conditions related to the

AA, the Department of Conservation has also issued the

associated Authority to Enter and Operate. (AEO)

In May, the Company applied to be considered as a listed

project for Full Mining Consent in the Fast Track Approvals

Bill. In September the Company was informed that the

Talisman project would not be expressly included in

Schedule 2 when the Bill goes before Parliament later this

year. However, the company was also informed that “Not

being listed in Schedule 2 is not a commentary on the

merits of the project, nor any future indication on how the

project would be assessed if you were to make a future

referral application under the Bill once enacted.”

Subsequently, the government released the expert

panel’s recommendations to Ministers for Schedule 2

inclusion. The Talisman Mine Project was recommended

by the expert panel and received a rating of 2 in a 1-5

priority scale (1 being highest). NTL believes this justifies

the application and bodes well for future consideration

once the Bill is enacted. Obtaining Full Mining Consent will

enable a seamless continuation of production post the

2-year Bulk Sampling Consent that NTL will trigger in the

coming months.

NTL still intends to apply for full mining Consent during the

Bulk Sampling phase and will decide whether to utilise the

Fast Track or usual mining consent process in due course.

During the half year NTL made two conversions of the

loan note totaling $558,611 this brought the outstanding

loan balance down to $165,014. A full conversion of the

Note to ordinary shares would have contravened the New

Zealand Takeovers Code threshold of 20%. Mr Hamish

Brown now holds 19.99% of the Company. For the time

being, the balance of the Note will continue on existing

terms for the remainder of the term in accordance with

the Boards discretion. However, further conversion of

the Note to shares may occur during that period where

permissible within the current regulatory framework.

The ASM was held in September, which saw experienced

Independent Director and Audit Committee Chair Michael

Stiassny re-elected to the Board. The ASM also passed a

Resolution, as required by ASX listing rules, to enable NTL

Board Chair Samantha Sharif and Director Richard Tacon,

to take up $170k of Shortfall from the Capital Raise.

In Vanuatu, progress in coming to an agreement with a

JV partner or sale for the Vanuatu permit continues to

be slow, but we will continue to engage with interested

parties and remain open to interest in partnership or sale.

During the half year NTL reviewed and updated the

workplan for an application for exploration over the Rahu

permit 61017. This was then resubmitted to NZ Petroleum

& Minerals (NZPAM). We have recently been advised by

NZPAM that they expect to process our application within

the next few months.

On 1 July 2024 the Company revised its existing contract

with John Upperton to provide the service of General

Manager on a full-time basis for a twelve-month period

to support NTL’s move to its production phase.

On 18 November 2024 the Company announced that it

has applied for voluntary delisting from ASX.

Pleasingly, once we also note, that as the Talisman mine

nears a return to production, the price of gold has held

firmly above NZD$4,000 per ounce. In these uncertain

times, gold has, as ever, retained its standing as a safe

haven of value, much as it has for the 130+ years of the

mine’s history. We look forward to adding to the rich

history and legacy of the Talisman mine.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report

To The Shareholders of New Talisman Gold Mines Limited


Conclusion

I have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial st atements (‘interim financial

statements’) of New Talisman Gold Mines Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’ ),

which comprise the condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 30

September 2024, and the condensed consolidated interim statement of comprehensive income,

condensed consolidated interim statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated interim

statement of cash flows for the six month period ended on that date, and a summary of material

accounting policies and other explanatory information.

I am a partner with UH Y Haines Norton Chartered Accountants Syd ney (the Firm ) and I have used the

staff and resources of the Firm to perform the review of the Group.

Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the interim

financial statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position

of the Group as at 30 September 2024 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six month

period ended on that date in accordance with New Zealand Equiva lent to International Accounting

Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (N Z IA S 34 ) and International Accounting Standard 34 Interim

Financial Reporting (IAS 34).

Basis for Conclusion

I conducted my review in accordance with New Zealand Standard on Review Engagement 2410

(Revised ) Review of Financial Statements Performed by the Independent Aud itor of the Entity (NZ SR E

2410 (Revised)). My responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the

Review of the Interim Financial Statements section of my report.

I am independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand

relating to the audit of the annual financial statements, and I have fulfilled my other ethical

responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Other than in my capacity as auditor, neither myself, the firm or the firm’s staff have no relationship

with, or interests in, the Group.


Material uncertainty related to going concern

I draw attention to Note 4 in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which indicates

that the Group’s reliance on a series of assumptions in relation to their cash flow forecast subsequent

to commencement of production. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in

Note 4, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may ca st significant doubt on the Group’s ability

to continue as a going concern. My opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Passion beyond numbers

Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements

The directors are responsible on behalf of the Group for the preparation and fair presentation of the

interim financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 and for such internal control as

the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of the interim

financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements

My responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on my review.

NZ SR E 2410 (Revised ) requires me to conclude whether anything has come to my attention that

causes me to believe that the interim financial statements, tak en as a whole, are not prepared, in all

material respects, in accordance with NZ IA S 34 and IAS 34.

A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited

assurance engagement. I perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of

persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review

procedures. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an

audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and

International Standards on Auditing and consequently do not ena ble me to obtain assurance that I

might identify in an audit. Accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion on the interim financial

statements.

Restriction on use

This report is made solely to the Group’s shareholders, as a bo dy. My review work has been

undertaken so that I might state to the Group’s shareholders, as a body those matters which I am

required to state to them in my review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted

by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone othe r than the Group’s shareholders, as a

body, for my review procedures, for this report, or for the conclusions I have formed.

1. General

New Talisman Gold Mines Limited is a profit-oriented company incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand, registered

under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and the Australian Stock Exchange

(ASX).

The company is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the financial

statements of the group have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and comply

with NZX Listing Rule 10.6.1. The group consists of New Talisman Gold Mines Limited (the “company”) and its subsidiaries

(“Group”) and these financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group is engaged

in mine development and mineral exploration.

These financial statements were approved for issue by the Directors on 13 November 2024.

Statement of compliance

These interim consolidated financial statements presented are for New Talisman Gold Mines Limited and its

wholly-owned subsidiaries, Coromandel Gold Limited, Critical Mineral Resources Limited and Rahu Resources Pty Limited

(“Group”). The information is presented in New Zealand currency which is the company’s functional currency. The interim

financial statements are condensed in accordance with NZ IAS-34, Interim Financial Reporting. These consolidated

financial statements have not been audited. The comparative information for the year ended 31 March 2024 has been

audited. The comparative information for the six-month period ended 30 September 2023 has not been audited.

2. Accounting policies

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are

the same as those adopted in the preparation of the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Those policies are set out in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2024. There have been no changes to those

accounting policies.

3. Seasonality of operations

The results are unaffected to any significant extent by seasonality factors.

4. Going Concern

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis which anticipates the Company and entities it controls

will be able to continue its operations for the foreseeable future and will be able to realise its assets and discharge its

liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

The company currently has cash and debt facilities available to it which are sufficient to enable the Company to operate

in its current state for a period longer than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The Company

plans to extract gold from the mine from January 2025 which will enable execution of the longer term mining plan.

The financial forecasts for FY25 and FY26 project sufficient cash available to satisfy all financial obligations with arise in

the next 12 months from 30 September 2024. The forecast cash flows are dependent on the key assumptions outlined

below.

• The ability to access suitable debt or equity capital to fund its operations through to production. No assurance can be

given that such capital will be available at all or on terms acceptable to the Company.

• Achievement of production targets. In forecasting the Companies cash requirements management has made certain

assumptions around the timing, volume and grade of production. There is material uncertainty as to the ability to achieve

the production targets.

• Price of Gold. In forecasting the Companies cash requirements management has made certain assumptions about the

price of gold. The gold price is a market commodity therefore there is uncertainty as to the price that might be achieved.

The forecast assumptions have been conservatively prepared and stress tested against a range of scenarios including a

material delay or reduction in production. Should the Company be unable to achieve the forecast cash flows mentioned

above the Company will look to modify its work program to work within cash constraints.

Development expenditure consists of mining development costs, professional salaries, data acquisitions and a small

portion of overhead expenses relating to the operation of the mine. Management assesses the allocation of directly

attributable overheads at the end of each reporting date. Management also assesses the carrying value of development

expenditure to ensure it represents the fair value of the mine development asset. An independent Technical Valuation of

the Talisman Gold Project was provided by Geos Mining Minerals Consultants as at 30 September 2021. They concluded

that a preferred valuation of the Project was NZ $15.6 million. This valuation exceeds the carrying amount of Assets under

construction as at 30 September 2024 of $8,437,558.

Furthermore, the mining permit consists of a two-year bulk sampling period and will require an application for full mining.

A two year period discounted cash flow results in an indicative valuation of $9 million.

At each reporting date the Directors review factors that may indicate impairment.

In the year ended 31 March 2022 given the conditional nature of the mining permit, the difference in indicative valuation

between the two abovementioned valuations, and that no commercial activity has yet been generated from mining

activities, the Directors concluded that an impairment to the Talisman mine development would be appropriate. The

Talisman mine development has therefore been impaired down to a net book value of $9 million. The directors reviewed

factors as at 31 March 2023 and determined a further adjustment of $1,205,483 be made to book value to reflect the value

attributed to the assets by the market. The directors further reviewed factors as at 31 March 2024 and 30 September

2024 and determined there be no change to the value of the asset. The Directors will obtain an updated valuation of the

project before the end of the financial year.
