INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT

DIRECTORS' REPORT

Your directors submit the financial report of Metal Bank Limited (the ‘parent’ or ‘Company’) and its controlled entities (the consolidated entity) for the half-year ended 31 December 2018. DIRECTORS The names of Directors who held office during or since the end of the half year are: Inés Scotland Chairman Guy Robertson Executive Director Anthony Schreck Executive Director

RESULTS The loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2018 was $205,510 (2017: $514,970). REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Metal Bank Limited (‘MBK’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to outline below the activities for the half year ended

31 December 2018.

The Company’s south-east Queensland exploration projects (8 Mile, Triumph and Eidsvold) are associated

with historical goldfields and represent intrusion related gold systems (IRGS) with multi-million-ounce upside

within the northern New England Orogen of eastern Australia. This region hosts several gold mines including

the Cracow (3Moz Au), Mt Rawdon (2Moz Au) gold mines and the historical Mt Morgan deposit (8Moz Au).

Metal Bank Limited (ASX:MBK)

Metal Bank Limited (‘MBK’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to outline below the activities on its south-east

Queensland gold projects for the half year ended 31 December 2018.

The grant of the 8 Mile project exploration permit during the period represents a strong addition to the MBK

gold portfolio. Indications from the initial field work highlight an overlooked gold system immediately along

trend from the Mt Rawdon gold mine (2Moz).

On the Triumph project results from drilling have extended near-surface gold mineralised zones, however

an internal review of all near surface resources identified to date does not support moving to a scoping study

at this time. Exploration on the project continues to focus on identifying the causative intrusive or bulk

tonnage style gold system responsible for the widespread near-surface high grade gold mineralisation. A

detailed review of the project has identified four priority bulk-tonnage gold targets (Big Hans, Advance,

Bonneville, Bald Hill East).

Results from the airborne geophysics (EM and magnetics) on the Eidsvold project highlight multiple large-

scale gold targets concealed by cover sediments in proximity to the historical Eidsvold goldfield (100,000 oz

Au production). This represents a significant step forward for the project’s prospectivity.

Looking ahead, exploration will be focussed on advancing the 8 Mile project with detailed surface

geochemistry. The Company will also continue to investigate the potential for joint ventures for its south-

east Queensland gold projects.

8 Mile Project (100% MBK)

The 8 Mile project represents a large hydrothermal mineral system with two priority target areas identified

(Western and Eastern Targets) along trend from the Mt Rawdon gold mine (2Moz). Initial reconnaissance

surface geochemical sampling (stream and rock chip sampling) completed during the period returned strong

pathfinder geochemistry associated with broad zones of magnetite destruction (forming magnetic lows)

similar to the upper portions of the nearby 2Moz Mt Rawdon gold mine. Refer to Figure 3.

The Western Target is centred on a large breccia body (approx. 1km x 2km) with coincident pathfinder

geochemistry typical of other intrusion related gold systems. The Eastern target is a 2.5km long porphyry

style gold system with limited shallow historical drilling (Placer Exploration, 1994) intersecting broad low-

grade gold mineralisation which remains ‘open’ with excellent upside. Both of these target have been

overlooked by modern exploration.

Systematic surface geochemical sampling (soil and rock) covering the Western and Eastern targets is in

progress.

Triumph Project (100% MBK)

The Triumph project is an intrusion related gold camp centred about the historical high-grade Norton

goldfield (mined in the late 1800’s and again in the 1990’s) located between the Mt Rawdon (2Moz Au) gold

mine and the historical Mt Morgan (8Moz Au and 0.4Mt Cu) mine in the Northern New England Orogen,

south-east Queensland.

Exploration by MBK over the past two years has discovered near-surface gold mineralisation across six

prospects within a 10km2 system. Highlights from this work includes:

• Bald Hill West - 15m @ 10.3g/t Au from 9m

• Bald Hill East 30m @ 0.5g/t Au from surface (open)

• New Constitution 10m @ 26.9g/t Au from 51m

• Advance 3m @ 25g/t Au from 17m

• Super Hans 22m @ 1.1g/t Au from 12m

• Big Hans 18m @ 4.0g/t Au from surface

The high-grade gold mineralisation intersected is interpreted to represent outer halo style mineralisation

above bulk tonnage style gold systems. It is the bulk tonnage style mineralisation that represents the priority

target for MBK on the project.

During the period a detailed analysis of the project data identifies four priority bulk tonnage targets (Big

Hans, Advance, Bonneville, Bald Hill East) interpreted beneath the near surface mineralisation. Refer to

Figure 4 showing the location of the priority bulk tonnage targets.

An internal review was also completed focusing on the potential of the near surface high-grade gold

mineralisation to support a multiple open pit mining scenario. This review recommended not moving to a

scoping study at this time.

Figure 4: Triumph project showing the priority bulk tonnage gold targets (Big Hans, Advance, Bonneville, Bald Hill

East).

Eidsvold Project (100% MBK)

The project is centred on the historical Eidsvold goldfield (100,000oz Au mined in the early 1900’s), located

between the Cracow (3Moz Au) and Mt Rawdon (2Moz Au) gold mines in the Northern New England Orogen.

The Eidsvold project represents a ‘first mover’ opportunity to target bulk tonnage intrusion related gold

systems concealed by sedimentary cover on an area which is largely unexplored and adjacent to an historical

goldfield with over 100,000oz Au historical production.

A combined airborne EM and magnetic geophysical survey was completed in Q2 2018 covering the large

intrusive complex. Processing and interpretation of the geophysical survey results has identified five large

scale intrusion related gold targets under 10m to up to 100m of cover and interpreted to represent breccia-

style gold systems similar to Mt Leyshon or Kidston gold mines in Queensland. These new targets are located

on an untested 10km trend identified in the regional magnetics data, along strike to the north and south of

the Eidsvold historical goldfield (Figure 5).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF

METAL BANK LIMITED Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Metal Bank Limited which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Metal Bank Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001. We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Metal Bank Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Metal Bank Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

(a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.
