New major risk - Revenue size The company makes less than US$1m in revenue. This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small amount of revenue are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Revenue is less than US$1m. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (AU$45.3m market cap, or US$32.0m).

GWR Group Limited Provides an Update to Shareholders Regarding Activities at the 100% Owned High-Grade C4 Iron Ore Mine in Wiluna, Western Australia GWR Group Limited provided an update to shareholders regarding activities at the 100% owned high-grade C4 Iron Ore mine in Wiluna, Western Australia. Mining operations at the Company's C4 Iron Ore Mine were suspended in September 2021 due to the volatility in Iron Ore prices, now following recent price increases the Company is able to confirm that mining has recommenced. GWR is well placed to increase volumes in future months if the iron ore price rises further as widely forecast. Although mining operations were suspended, crushing from the ROM pad and hauling to the port did continue between October and December enabling GWR to capitalise on a significant inventory of mined iron ore stockpiles that existed up until mining suspension. The Company successfully negotiated fixed price sales contracts of high- grade lump product in October for 57,859 wmt and December for 57,150 wmt for a total of 115,009 wet metric tonnes. In addition, GWR has successfully negotiated fixed price sales contracts for a total of 145,000 tonnes of product for January, February and March 2022. A January shipment of 30,000 tonnes of high-grade lump has been secured on a fixed Price (FOB Basis) at $100/t, this shipment will be a part cargo comprising 30,000 tonnes from C4 together with high-grade product from Fe Limited's JWD mine. Shipments for February and March have been secured on a fixed price (FOB Basis) at $95/t (Fines), $100/t (Lump) and $110/t (Lump) respectively. A comprehensive review of costs has been undertaken and has identified operational savings. In addition, shipping on an FOB basis will mean that GWR is not liable for shipping costs. The 100% owned C4 Iron Ore mine has remained in a production ready state in order to take advantage of a recovery in the iron ore price and GWR always maintained that it had taken an opportunistic approach to its Wiluna mining operations. Beginning when the ore price was high and the AUD relatively weak in trading terms and after negotiating a contract with Pilbara Resources Group (PRG) that mitigated risk and the requirement for capital. The C4 Stage 1 pit has significant quantities of high-grade ore available for mining, and the company is confident it can control its C1 cash cost and deliver into fixed price sales contracts. In addition, GWR has made the decision to proceed with the Stage 2 pit cutback that will expose ~2,000,000 tonnes of high-grade product. Although some additional blasting will be required, the cutback had been largely already blasted prior to scaling back operations in late September 2021. Reported Earnings • Oct 01

GWR Group Limited to See A Ramp Up of Development Activities At the Fully Permitted Jwd High Grade Iron Ore Deposit with the Experienced Mining Team At Fe Limited GWR Group Limited announced the re-negotiation and extension to its Mining Rights JWD Iron Ore deposit agreement with Fe Ltd. On the 17 September 2020 FEL announced that it had entered into a binding JV Agreement to acquire a 51% interest in the Mining Rights Agreement held by Gold Valley Iron Ore over the Wiluna West JWD1 deposit 100% owned by GWR Group Limited. FEL announced that it received formal notification from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) that it has granted the Works Approval for the JWD Project. The Works Approval represents the final primary environmental approval for the project and its grant facilitates the construction of the crushing and screening plant and associated infrastructure on site. GWR worked together with the experienced management team from FEL to re-negotiate and extend the terms of its Mining Rights agreement with one of the key elements of the changes being to adjust the methodology by which royalty and rehabilitation obligations are funded, thereby assisting FEL's working capital during ramp up. FEL has also agreed to guarantee its subsidiary company's obligations to GWR as part of these changes. The other key change is to extend the timeframe by which FEL has to extract the first 300,000 tonnes of ore (from October 2021 to January 2022), providing additional operational flexibility to FEL. As a consideration for GWR agreeing to the changes FEL will make a payment of $125,000 in cash, increase the royalty it pays by A$1 per tonne when the headline iron ore price is above US$145 per tonne and grant GWR an option to purchase up to 50,000 tonnes of JWD fines material from the mine gate at estimated cost plus A$10. GWR will decide if direct sale of the ore or blending with lower grade fines is the chosen path forward. Announcement • Apr 28

GWR Group Limited Reviews to Increase Production Tonnage -Current 1Mt Production to Potentially Unlock 130Mt Fe Resource GWR Group Limited advised that the successful commencement of mining at the Stage 1 C4 Iron Deposit, the buoyant iron ore price and demand for high-grade ore combined with the renewed interest in GWR's DSO product, the company will accelerate efforts to expedite increased production tonnage across the remaining portion of its total 131.1 Mt @ 60% Fe Iron Ore inventory (not already under production or JV). Stage 2 mining of the C4 Iron deposit is now a priority of the company and GWR will accelerate its review to assess what portion of the remaining ~20 million tonnes will be optimised and included in this stage. GWR will begin to engage with interested parties and assess all options available that will maximise the returns for shareholders as a direct result of profitable project economics. Following recent step-out drilling intersecting significant widths and high-grade, low-impurity results from drilling undertaken ~75 metres south and outside of Stage 1 development pit, the company is assessing a potential extension to the Stage 1 optimised development pit. Some of the recent results include: 16m @ 65.1% Fe from 14m (EOH) - WWRC3184; 30m @ 61.8% Fe from 6m (EOH) - WWRC3186. The high- grade mineralisation intersected by the step out drilling is not predicted in the current Resource model and represents a potential addition to the Stage 1 mining operation. GWR will look to follow up on this potential extension with further drilling. Pilbara Resources Group (PRG) is engaged to conduct mining operations for Stage 1 of the C4 Iron Deposit which covers just 1 million tonnes of high grade low impurity iron ore from C4's Mineral Resource Estimate of 21.6 million tonnes at 60.7% Fe. GWR will commence engaging with interested parties in order to potentially increase the production tonnage across C4 and its other deposits. Furthermore, the GWR Group has substantial carried forward tax losses available to it, which will potentially be available to offset Free Cash Flow generated from C4 production operations. As previously announced, GWR intendeds to keep shareholders updated as the company continue to meet Key Production Milestones for the C4 Iron Deposit including, offtake agreements and first sales/shipment of ore and expects to be in a position shortly to update the market.

GWR Group Limited Provides Wiluna West Projects Update GWR Group Limited provided an update on its active gold and iron ore projects. The Company is continuing to progress its strategy to transition its prospective exploration projects into low Capex mining operations. Recent focus has been on its 100 percent owned Wiluna West Gold Project and the Wiluna West C4 iron ore deposit. With many localised gold deposits and an exploration upside, the Company has embarked on a low Capex mining strategy whereby ore is processed and mined by third parties with a revenue share facilitating further project exploration and development. GWR Group had identified Wiluna Mining Corporation Ltd. (formerly Blackham) ("WMC") as a logical partner due to it holding processing capacity located at Wiluna 47km from GWR's Wiluna West Gold Project. The company has developed a strong commercial relationship with WMC via the Wiluna West Gold Project JVA. Under the terms of the Wiluna West Gold Project JVA the Golden Monarch deposit had been presented to WMC as a Proposed Qualifying Deposit, however after a rigorous process WMC has declined to proceed with Golden Monarch under the terms of the JVA. Following this advice the Company has reviewed the potential for entering into separate toll milling agreement with WMC and discussions are ongoing for this opportunity. Following the announcement made on 9 September 2020 relating to the execution of the C4 Iron Deposit Term Sheet with Pilbara Resources Group Pty (PRG), which covers the key terms of an Alliance contract for the development of the C4 Iron Deposit, management have been diligently working toward the commencement of initial site works and obtaining the final approvals and clearances. GWR has engaged PRG to carry out agreed works for development, mining and transport of Stage 1 of the C4 Iron Deposit. The agreed terms mean PRG will provide its own project capital for the purpose
of funding its performance under the contract. GWR and PRG are currently well advanced in completing formal contract documentation and completion of a project budget. GWR has been engaging with the Mid West Ports Authority and current users for port and shed access and continues to investigate other opportunities. Discussions are well advanced with a nearby established mine in the Wiluna area for access to site services such as village, workshops and water.
