1. Action to be taken by Shareholders

Shareholders should read the Notice including the Explanatory Memorandum carefully before deciding how to vote on the Resolutions.

1.1 Voting in person

To vote in person, attend the Meeting on the date and at the place set out above.

  • 6 -

1.2 Proxies

  • (a) Voting by proxy

A Proxy Form is attached to the Notice. This is to be used by Shareholders if they wish to appoint a representative (a 'proxy') to vote in their place. All Shareholders are invited and encouraged to attend the Meeting or, if they are unable to attend in person, sign and return the Proxy Form to the Company in accordance with the instructions thereon. Lodgement of a Proxy Form will not preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the Meeting in person.

Please note that:

  • (i) a member of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy;

  • (ii) a proxy need not be a member of the Company; and

  • (iii) a member of the Company entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the votes.

The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.

  • (b) Proxy vote if appointment specifies way to vote

Section 250BB(1) of the Corporations Act provides that an appointment of a proxy may specify the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution and, if it does:

  • (i) the proxy need not vote on a show of hands, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed);

  • (ii) if the proxy has 2 or more appointments that specify different ways to vote on the resolution – the proxy must not vote on a show of hands;

  • (iii) if the proxy is the chair of the meeting at which the resolution is voted on – the proxy must vote on a poll, and must vote that way (i.e. as directed); and

  • (iv) if the proxy is not the chair – the proxy need not vote on the poll, but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote that way (i.e. as directed).

  • (c) Transfer of non-chair proxy to chair in certain circumstances

Section 250BC of the Corporations Act provides that, if:

  • (i) an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at a meeting of the Company's members;

  • (ii) the appointed proxy is not the chair of the meeting;

  • (iii) at the meeting, a poll is duly demanded on the resolution; and

  • (iv) either of the following applies:

  • 7 -

  • (A) the proxy is not recorded as attending the meeting; or

  • (B) the proxy does not vote on the resolution,

the chair of the meeting is taken, before voting on the resolution closes, to have been appointed as the proxy for the purposes of voting on the resolution at the meeting.

2. Conditional Resolutions

The Interconditional Resolutions are inter-conditional, meaning that each of them will only take effect if all of them are approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders' votes at the Meeting. If any one of the Interconditional Resolutions is not approved at the Meeting, none of the Interconditional Resolutions will take effect and the Acquisition and other matters contemplated by the Interconditional Resolutions will not be completed pursuant to this Notice.

For the avoidance of doubt, Resolutions 1 to 5 (inclusive) are referred to as the Interconditional Resolutions throughout this Notice.

The remaining Resolution, being Resolution 6, is not an Interconditional Resolutions.

3. Background to proposed Acquisition of Cape Ray Project

3.1 General background

On 5 April 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into agreements with Benton Resources Inc. ( Benton ) and Nordmin Engineering Limited ( Nordmin ), the Vendors of the Cape Ray Project gold project located in Newfoundland, Canada ( Project ), so that the Company may acquire an 80% interest in the Project.

A summary of the material terms and conditions of the agreements is set out in section 3.4 ( Acquisition ).

Pursuant to the Acquisition, 100% of the legal and beneficial interest in the Project will be transferred to Matador Canada Pty Ltd ( Matador Canada ), a company which will be owned 80% by the Company, and 20% by Maple Mining Pty Ltd ( Maple ).

This Notice of Meeting sets out the Resolutions necessary to complete the Acquisition.

Each of the Interconditional Resolutions are conditional upon the approval by Shareholders of each of the other Interconditional Resolutions. All of the Resolutions in this Notice of Meeting, save for Resolution 6 are Interconditional Resolutions. If any of the Interconditional Resolutions are not approved by Shareholders, all of the Interconditional Resolutions will fail and completion of the Acquisition ( Completion ) will not occur.

3.2 Existing activities of Matador Mining Limited

The Company was admitted to the Official List of ASX on 6 March 2017. The Company's primary business is mineral exploration and it holds five projects in Western Australia prospective for precious metals, base metals and industrial metals.

  • 8 -

The Company:

  • (a) is in the process of outlining a maiden exploration program at its Laverton West project, which is likely to include field based geochemical sampling and mapping to define targets for subsequent exploration;

  • (b) has designed a work program consisting of soil sampling and follow up drilling to expand the exploration program at its Copper Hills project. This work program has been submitted to the Department of Mines and Petroleum and is currently pending approval;

  • (c) is considering a detailed geographical mapping and sampling program at its Snake Hill project that is likely to involve shallow reverse circulation drilling;

  • (d) since admission to the Official List, has undertaken a geochemical sampling program at its Pyramid Hill project. Based on the results, the Company determined to withdraw from the Pyramid Hill project; and

  • (e) since admission to the Official List, completed a review of results from the maiden drill program at its Oriental Gold project. Based on the results, the Board believes that the costs associated with any further work programs, weighed up against the likelihood of a commercial discovery at the Oriental Gold project, would not be in the best interest of Shareholders.

3.3 About the Cape Ray Project

  • (a) Project overview and history

The Project, comprising over 500,000oz of contained gold within the 04, 41, 51 Zones and Window Glass Hill gold deposits (refer to Section 3.3(e) for further information on the foreign estimate), is located within the regionalscale gold-bearing Cape Ray shear zone ( Cape Ray Shear Zone ) that transects the island of Newfoundland for over 200km with widths of up to 1km.

The Project was initially discovered in 1977 by Rio Canada Exploration Limited. Since then the area has been the subject of numerous academic and government geological studies, with a number of exploration programs undertaken by various mining companies.

Historically, exploration has focussed on the current reported resources on the Cape Ray Shear Zone, particularly the 1.8km section covering the 04, the 41, the 51 Zones, and the Window Glass Hill deposits, with only minimal work undertaken along the additional 40km of highly prospective strike, which include the known gold occurrences of Isle aux Mort, Big Pond etc.

The Cape Ray Shear Zone hosts numerous gold occurrences including Marathon Gold's (TSX: MOZ) Valentine Lake Gold Project which has current resources of 2.85Moz Au.

Near mine targets are providing further scope for follow up exploration. The Isle aux Mort prospect, located 10km north east of the 04 Zone, has returned historical intercepts of 6.8m at 18.2g/t Au from 13.6m with limited follow up testing since Tenacity's drilling between 1989 and 2003. Further north from Isle aux Mort is the Cape Ray East target which has returned historical grab samples of 181g/t Au.

Immediately to the south of the Window Glass Hill deposit lies the Big Pond target. Big Pond has historically hosted a mineral resource (not included in

  • 9 -

the current foreign estimate) and returned significant drill intersections of 2.3m at 21.4g/t Au from 68m (for further information on the Big Pond target, see the Company's announcement of 5 April 2018 ( Announcement )).

All of the above mentioned targets are hosted on the same structure and along strike of the 04, 41, 51 and Window Glass Hill Deposits.

Regionally, the system remains highly prospective and largely under explored. South of Big Pond is approximately 25km of completely untested strike along the Cape Ray Shear which has only recently been pegged by Benton on the instruction of Maple.

(b) Tenure

The Project consists of 401 claims comprising 13 licences, which cover an area of 100.2 km². On Completion the Company will have secure title to all claims, with no recorded third party claims on the Project, save for those set out in the additional information below:

  • (c) Location and Infrastructure

The Project is situated in southwestern Newfoundland, approximately 25km northeast of the town of Channel-Port aux Basques, from where it extends in a north eastward direction.

Channel-Port aux Basques, with a population approximately 5,000 people, is located along the Trans-Canada Highway and is the main port connecting the island of Newfoundland to mainland Canada via the Marine Atlantic Ferry services. The town of Deer Lake, which is located ~250km by road from Channel-Port aux Basques, has direct airline connections to Toronto and air services to the Newfoundland capital of St. John's and its international airport.

Direct road access to the Cape Ray East Property is via a 22km long gravel road that extends north-northeast from Route 470. The gravel access road was originally constructed in 1989 with minor road upgrades in 2003. The road begins 2.5km west of the community of Isle aux Morts. The access road is currently used for personnel and equipment to access the site.

An electrical sub-station is located approximately 25km to the southwest of the site in the town of Channel-Port aux Basque. Power is available from the provincial electrical transmission grid that runs along the Trans-Canada

  • 11 -

Highway. Infrastructure currently onsite comprises a well-equipped selfcontained exploration camp, access tracks to the various deposits and some core storage facilities.

Prevailing onshore winds from the south and southeast during the spring and summer months result in relatively moderate temperatures with generally light snowfalls that begin around mid- November. The relatively mild weather is conducive for year-round exploration and mining.

(d) Geology

Southwestern Newfoundland is an area of complex Appalachian geology recording intense crustal shortening, variable metamorphism, and magmatism beginning in the Late Silurian, which is related to collision of the composite North American continent to the north and the Gander Avalon composite terrane of Gondwanan affinity to the south.

The Cape Ray Shear Zone forms a structural boundary between two of four tectonostratigraphic zones, or terranes that define the geology of Newfoundland, these being the Late Precambrian – Early Paleozoic Dunnage Zone to the northwest and the Gander Zone to the southeast.

The Dunnage Zone includes rocks originally deposited in the Late Precambrian – Early Paleozoic Iapetus Ocean, and in southwestern Newfoundland is represented by the Cape Ray Igneous Complex ( CRIC ). The Gander Zone is mainly comprised of deep water turbidite sedimentary rocks deposited at, or near the eastern side of the Iapetus Ocean.

In southwestern Newfoundland these are represented by the Port aux Basques Gneiss ( PABG ). The Cape Ray Shear Zone is therefore located at, or very close to the boundary between the Laurentian and Gondwanan terranes. The Cape Ray Shear Zone hosts the Cape Ray Gold Deposits, which comprise one of the most important groups of vein-type gold deposits in the Appalachians, as well as other significant vein-type gold occurrences that include the Big Pond and Isle aux Morts prospects and the Window Glass Hill Deposit ( WGHD ).

The Cape Ray Shear Zone is a zone of highly strained rocks approximately 200 km in length and several hundred metres in width that includes three major geological domains; the CRIC, the Windsor Point Group ( WPG ) and the PABG. The Cape Ray Shear Zone separates the CRIC to the northwest from the PABG to the southeast and WPG located between these two units. This coincides approximately with the trace of the Cape Ray Shear Zone. All three units are intruded by a number of pre- to late-tectonic granitoid intrusions. The CRIC is comprised mainly of large bodies of mafic to ultramafic intrusive rocks intruded by granitoid rocks (Cape Ray Granite, Cape Ray Tonalite, Red Rocks Granite), and is interpreted to have a U-Pb zircon age of 469 ± 2Ma (MidOrdovician) based on samples obtained from the Cape Ray Tonalite. The WPG unconformably overlies the CRIC and consists of bimodal volcanics and volcaniclastics with associated sedimentary rocks that are interpreted to be Ordovician to Devonian in age based on U-Pb radiometric dating.

The main exploration target on the Project is the vein-hosted, structurally controlled gold mineralisation associated with structures (splays) related to the Cape Ray Shear Zone.

The Project itself consists of three main mineralised zones: 04, 41 and 51. These have historically been referred to as the "Main Zone". They occur as quartz veins and vein arrays along a 1.8 km segment of the Cape Ray Shear

  • 12 -

Zone. Gold bearing quartz veins at the three locations are collectively known as the "A vein" and are typically located at (41 and 51 Zones) or near (04 Zone) the southeast limit of a sequence of highly deformed and brecciated graphitic schist of the WPG. The graphitic schists host the mineralisation and form the footwall of the Cape Ray Shear Zone. Graphitic schist is in fault contact with highly strained chloritic schists and quartz-sericite mylonites further up in the hanging wall structural succession. The protolith of these mylonites is difficult to ascertain, but they appear to be partly or totally retrograded PABG lithologies. Other veins (C vein) are present in the structural footwall and represent secondary lodes hosted by more competent lithologies. The mylonite zone in the hanging wall of the A vein is mainly composed of strongly sheared quartz-feldspar porphyries, quartzo- feldspathic gneisses and banded sediments, all of which are partly to completely retrograded to greenschist facies.

The 04, 41 and 51 Zones occur along a northeast-trending fault splay within the Cape Ray Shear Zone system, which dips moderately (50-60°) to the southeast. These zones consist of complex tabular zones of quartz veins, fault gouge and wall rock fragments, ranging from a few cm to several metres in width, and correlate laterally for up to 700m along strike. In section, the 04 and 41 Zones show east southeast to southeast plunges and locally show downdip extension of up to 300m. The 51 Zone is characterised by both subhorizontal and steeply plunging grade trends.

Mineralisation in the WGHD occurs predominantly in a set of flat-lying sulphide-rich quartz veins hosted in the relatively un-deformed Window Glass Hill Granite near the Cape Ray Shear Zone. The Window Glass Hill Granite is well exposed on the southwest side of the Isle aux Morts River and intrudes WPG rocks. The intrusion is elongated in shape, measuring 2.7 x 0.6 km on the western side of the Isle aux Morts River and 100 m wide x 3.4 km long on the eastern side, where it is cut by a strike-slip mylonite zone. The Window Glass Hill Granite is composed of pink, aphanitic alkali feldspar granite, with minor plagioclase phenocrysts and <2% biotite.

Deformation in the Window Glass Hill Granite is generally weak, but can be heterogeneous. Strain is most intense in centimetre to metre wide zones of shearing that separate relatively undeformed domains characterized by jointing and locally by northeast- to north-northeast trending fracture cleavage. The high strain zones are best developed at the Window Glass Hill Granite-WPG contact in the schists.

(e) Mineral Resources

The Cape Ray Foreign Mineral Resource Estimate was carried out by Ginto Consulting Inc. for Benton and Nordmin in 2017. Estimates were prepared for only the 04, 41, 51 and Window Glass Hill deposits. The estimates are based on digital drill hole data sets provided by Benton and conforms to the CIM Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve definitions (10 May 2014) referred to in NI 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

The references in this announcement to the publicly quoted resource tonnes and grade of the Project are foreign in nature and not reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. A competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the resource estimate as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the foreign resource estimates of

  • 13 -

mineralisation will be able to be reported as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code 2012.

Numerous drill programs have been undertaken in the project area between 1977 to 2016. In the greater project area a total of approximately 85,000m of diamond drilling in 560 drill holes has been completed. The Cape Ray Mineral Resource Estimate, itself, is based on a total of approximately 68,000m from 413 diamond drill holes.

The above information relating to the Company's reporting of a foreign estimate for the Project, including the information required by Listing Rule 5.12, was first released by the Company in the Announcement on 5 April 2018. The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Announcement and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the resource estimate and exploration results continue to apply and have not materially changed.

The Company currently intends to commence a program to obtain additional information which will satisfy the Competent Person named in the Announcement to generate a mineral resource under the JORC 2012 Code.

Various sampling strategies were utilised by the previous explorers. These strategies basically comprised either:

(i) full interval sampling using half blade-cut core, or

  • (ii) selective sampling based on visual assessment of the core followed by hand-splitting,

In many cases, the use of selective sampling strategy has resulted in incomplete sampling of the mineralised interval with many sample intervals terminating in grade. The Company believes that there is an opportunity to extend the already defined mineralised envelopes by sampling the intervals that have not been sampled in the past. The Company intends to commence both a full-interval and QAQC sampling program on all available core.

(f) Metallurgy

Four programs of metallurgical testwork have been carried out by the various owners during the period 1981 to 2016. The work focused on samples from the 04, 41 and 51 deposits, with samples collected from either drill core, trenching and in the case of 41 a bulk sample.

  • 14 -

The testwork programs investigated flotation with cyanidation of the float tails, direct cyanidation, gravity and dense media separation. A combined gravity circuit (for coarse gold recovery) and cyanidation of the gravity tails showed the most promise with gold recoveries of +95%. The opportunity to produce a base metal concentrate may also prove valuable, depending on the plant throughput envisaged.

No significant issues were highlighted from the testwork, including no pregrobbing from the graphitic schist material. Notably testwork is yet to be completed on the WGH material.

(g) Exploration Program

The following initial exploration activities are planned for the Project in 2018:

  • (i) a review of historical drilling information;

  • (ii) DGPS pick-up of all existing drill hole collars;

  • (iii) drilling of twin holes to validate historical drilling;

  • (iv) validation check of acquired drill hole database against original logging, specific gravity and assay data;

  • (v) acquisition of high resolution digital terrain data;

  • (vi) sampling of untested historic core;

  • (vii) collection of density data for the various lithologies present at the Cape Ray Project area;

  • (viii) metallurgical sampling and testing;

  • (ix) regional exploration; and

  • (x) estimation of a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate.

Exploration activities are expected to commence immediately with the Company to focus its efforts on reviewing the historical resources to better understand the known mineralisation and structural controls. This initial work program will be complemented by the resampling of the historical core of the Project sourced from the public core farm in Pasadena, Newfoundland which has on site facilities for resampling available for the Company's use.

Concurrently, the Company plans to commence an initial surface geochemical sampling and mapping program across its entire 45km strike to identify further targets along the Cape Ray Shear. Material Contracts
