Chairman's Statement

The year 2020 has seen Rockfire build the value of its exploration projects in Australia and it is with great pleasure that I present the Annual Report for Rockfire for the financial year ended 31 December 2020.

Despite the restrictions imposed on domestic and international travel during the year, Rockfire has been in a comparatively fortunate position. As a result of having all its field personnel, contractors and consultants based close to our projects in Queensland, the Company has been able to complete a successful and exciting year of growth on both a technical and administrative front.

During the year, a sustained and highly successful drilling programme resulted in a significant increase in gold resources at the Plateau gold deposit, as well as a recent, positive preliminary scoping study. The results obtained from this study provides momentum for a comprehensive infill and extension drilling programme, with the aim of completing an updated scoping study towards the end of 2021.

Our copper projects (Copper Dome & Copperhead) have progressed with helicopter surveys being completed which have highlighted the scale of both projects. As a Board, we believe these projects hold great potential for a significant copper discovery and we look forward to undertaking drilling programmes at these projects during the 2021 calendar year.

Administration

In February 2020, the Company appointed Allenby Capital as its sole stockbroker. This has streamlined many administrative matters owing to Allenby also being the Company's nominated adviser. Allenby Capital is one of the most active brokers on AIM, advising more than 60 corporate clients listed on the London Stock Exchange Main Market, AIM or AQSE exchanges.

On 17 July 2020, the Company changed its Registered Office to 201 Temple Chambers, 3-7 Temple Avenue, London, United Kingdom, EC4Y 0DT.

At a general meeting held on 29 September 2020, shareholders voted to amend certain provisions within the Company's Articles of Association (the "Articles") relating to general meetings of the Company. In light of the restricted numbers permitted by social distancing rules, limitations on gatherings and Covid-19 related protocols, the amendments were designed to address the manner in which meetings can be convened, the quorum necessary to hold a general meeting, and the manner in which they can be held. The amended Articles allow the Company to hold physical, hybrid or virtual meetings, at any time in the future, when necessary.

Financial review

The income statement for the year shows a loss of £719,987 (2019: loss £635,542).

These combined funds were used to continue drilling at Plateau, as well as funding helicopter-supported geophysical surveys at Copperhead and Copper Dome projects in Queensland.
